This is a beautiful quilt and matching shams in green but its so much more. The background is a soft turquoise blue with a touch of gray. The paisley is in moss green, celery green, golden yellow and more. These are thin outlines of the paisley so your prominent color is the moss green with the soft turquoise gray background. You know that new color. High quality. Size I selected is full/queen. Its an average queen and a large full but adequate. You will need a bed shirt for a queen. More then I expected. I gave info that I look for in these remarks.
