I am using these shams to bring out the same orange color in my grandmother's 100+ year old hand-made spread she brought over from Italy. They are the perfect color. The only con is that the fabric is very lightweight so the edges don't stay up. I have two solutions. First, the queen size doesn't fit because I can't find queen size pillows. All pillows are standard/queen and would fit better in the standard size. I'm sure the king size fits well with a king size pillow. Sot that was a bit disappointing, but that was my fault for buying the queen size. However, my solution is to starch the shams and I bet the edges will stand up. (I might wash them first and see if they shrink some first, which would help as well. I'll need to read the instructions for washing first.) I still like them a lot because they go so well with the spread and the accent pillows. (The blue and white accent pillow is also from Wayfair.)
