I was super excited to get these towels. They are large and the colour is lovlely- silver grey. I washed them in cold and tumble dried low before using as instructed. Unfortunately, when I took them out of the dryer the colour had lost some of its depth and the textured border had shrunk and is causing the towel ends to pucker. Pros  big, fluffy and soft cons shrinkage caused by bad border design after first wash before use. May not last long. Lots of reviewers have been discussing colour. The silver grey is lovely, its lighter in colour than I thought... Grey is hard, there are so many colours within it, depending on the room they are in these appear either light grey or a bit sage green .
