These pillows are great! The charcoal is irridescent with the color changing when brushed and/or when viewed from different angles. They are very soft and a great size - not too big yet not too small. All in all, they are my favorite Wayfair pillow purchase by far (and my wife says that I have bought too many). For whatever reason, I just like these pillows better than others which may be more beautiful and more expensive looking.
I bought them without great expectations and hit a grand slam home run.
