The color was exactly the soft blue, therefore, this item is exactly as pictured!  I ordered this set and got it in less than a week.  Was impressed with the material and overall set for the price.  After-all a deal isn't a deal if you're getting an inferior product, this item definitely isn't the case. This item was ordered for my guest bedroom and I love the look & have since decorated around this comforter set. 

Pros: Color, material and quality
Cons: None
