Beautiful quilt.  The colors are just as pictured.  I dislike the color Gold and did notice that the Gold is in prominent places on the stripe pattern side of the quilt so, note the picture if that is a concern for you. I bought the King size for my Queen bed so will need to alter the shams but that was my choice.  Be sure to note the measurements of this quilt if you are purchasing for a King bed.  I am not sure about that.
