I got the blue. For the price, you can't beat them. 2 lampshades alone would cost about as much as this set! The color of blue is pleasant and calm, great for a coastal theme. It is a bit strange that there is no base to them so the glass sits on your surface. If that's a concern, beware. The control on the cord is easier than up under the shade. The shades are very nice quality and white, very white. They match the set perfectly.
