I don't know what's going to happen years down the line but for now I'm extremely happy with my bedspread. The color, to me, is a true navy blue. As I do with everything, the first thing I did was wash it. It washed beautifully and even drying it on permanent press, it dried quickly. I have one mattress on a platform bed and the spread falls a couple of inches from the floor. This is what I wanted so that I don't accidentally step on any material on the floor. All in all, I'm extremely happy.
