The sheets I received matched the description and the color is more vivid than shown in the picture.  It's a beautiful shade of deep aqua blue.  I ordered the King sized and the fit is exceptional on my over stuffed mattress. I washed them upon taking them out of the packaging in cold water on the "light" cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent.  Low setting in the dryer and removed promptly just to freshen them from the factory smell.  They are very nice to sleep on.  650 TC, Egyptian is the way to go!
