The gray color isn't quite what I thought it would be.  It looks a little purple compared to the white duvet cover with a gray floral pattern that is also on the bed, and the gray bookshelves in my room.  I don't mind much, because when the bed is made, you don't see the sheets.  The important thing is that they are super, super soft and seem to be really good quality.  So cozy for these cold winter nights!
