I worried that this set would be too cheap looking (I felt it was pretty inexpensive and I was gambling on its quality), but while it is light in weight, it's super cute! My husband also likes it! We're in Chicago, so it's not quite warm enough on its own, but perfect with a lightweight quilt under (and should be perfect for Summer). I'd say it's slightly bluer than gray, but again--looks great. Overall- very happy with this purchase. Throw pillows great, too!
