I bought this in green, and the colour online was an excellent representation of the actual colour.  I washed it before putting it on the duvet, and the material is extremely soft.  The zipper is hidden, and is not easily seen.  I am very pleased with how it looks.  The cover is a few inches too long for my duvet, and the pillow shams are too wide even for my king size pillows, and this is why the set gets 4 stars instead of 5.  But I am keeping it and looking forward to the cheery colour to get us through the winter!
