The color is exactly what the picture shows. Very pretty. My family thought it was lovely.
I gave it four stars only because I thought it could have been a little bigger. I couldn't quite cover my pillows at the top of the bed but maybe that is what a bedspread will do as a quilt may not. This is probably my fault for not knowing. The quality is good though and the little bonus pillows are cute. I would definitely recommend this for anyone as long as they understand the size is not quite as big as it looks in the picture.
