Beautiful set. Is a lot more blue than anticipated and less grey than hoped for. Pillows are very aqua compared to bedding set. Only disappointment was that the bedspread was already pulled in the raised designed area in a few spots and quite visible through packaging. This is not our 'forever' set at this price and we know it will snag with the material it is made from as we could feel as we unpacked it that it clearly needs a decorative throw or something pretty over it. Having a hard time finding square pillows for the shams but they are cool. Next up, paint!
