I looked for months to find a bedding set in the green family( apparently, blue is IN right now). The comforter is great quality and a medium-heavy weight. I think it will be too warm for Texas summers, but I need it for fall and winter. The colors are bright and happy, exactly as pictured. I bought the red accent pillow which "makes" the set. I opted for bright yellow pillows from a discount store for much less than the extra pillows in this line, but the red pillow is a must!
