We ordered these pillows in the color blue because the dragonfly color was sold out. Needless to say, the blue isn’t my favorite color (think true denim blue), but I’m still going to make use of them in our finished basement. The 4 out of 5 stars isn’t because of the color, however. I took a start away because these pillows cases drastically SHED. I haven’t washed them yet, so I’m hoping that helps! Stay tuned.
