The color matches the pictures perfectly.  The material is a little flimsy and the corners of the shams don't stand up as in the pictures.  I bought the king size the shams are extra long.  Had to put two pillows inside to fill them up.  The comforter and bed skirt need to be steam ironed in order to take out the creases.  You do get a lot of stuff for the price one pays.  I do recommend it.
