The sheets are true to their color. Soft and comfortable sheets. The only problem I had was they had loose thread hanging from them. I washed them before putting them on my bed and was worried they would fall apart, but they didn't. I do tend to get hot at night, and these sheets seem to make me too warm. I'll continue to use them, but I prefer cooler sheets. With all the thread hanging from them, I'm pretty sure they won't be lasting long. If they last more than a year, I'll be shocked.
