These sheets are a deal. When I received them, the color was great (beige). However, I noticed after a few washes, the laundry soap began to stain them. It looked like there were wet spots when it was dry. We've used to same laundry soap for a few years now, and none of our clothes or other sheets (bought elsewhere) have experienced this. I'm not very satisfied as I bought several packs. On a positive note, they are soft!
