After washing it the colour stayed true and didn’t fade. The material is soft and not scratchy BUT not the comfort of soft that I would want.  Would I purchase again, most definitely. The duvet I got To go in this I used it one night and I was cold but having put on duvet cover I am warm sometimes too warm. So this is a perfect duvet for fallwinter.
Edit: after having this for a few months now and heading into the hot heat I can still use this blanket and not get too hot. Plus I love the fabric it is very comfy!! Would purchase again.
