I am decorating with cobalt blue in my living room.  The prominent colors of this throw ended up being a brighter color closer to a turquoise.  The darker blue is less noticeable and not quite what I needed.  Additionally, the fabric is not particularly soft.  It just doesn't say "curl up with me".    I felt that for the price the quality just didn't quite match.  I still kept it and keep it over the arm/back of a "leather" chair to protect the chair from when my cat jumps up with his claws.  It serves a purpose, but not one of my favorite purchases for my recent decorating needs.

Pros: practical, good for a "homespun" decor--more "folksy
Cons: colors aren't quite what I expected.
