Ok, so first of all, these look like a lilac or lavender, but they are pink, like cotton candy pink, the extra pillowcases are purple, but my sheets are pink. I like them, but the color is way off. They are supposed to be deep pocket sheets, but they do not stay on any better, or fit any better than the sheets I replaced. My husband rolled over, and they slid right up the bed and started coming off the mattress. (my mattress is only 12 or 13 inches high) They are also on the sheer side. On the plus side, the material is nice, they are pretty soft, and they wash well.
