Very soft and plush.  The oyster shade is as described and perfect compliment to a soft pastel bedroom colour scheme.  I have purchased other micro/fleece blankets from Wayfair from various other brands, and this blanket is equal in quality.  Only time will tell how it holds up to multiple washes, as I just received the item . Overall, very pleased with this ultra soft microplush blanket. It would be great if the range of colour is expanded to include more options.
