The colors are true to the photo but what you cannot see is the rich fabric and intricate detailing in the stitching and embellishments.  The fabric is silky but not slippery and the underside of the comforter is a different material that is so soft to the touch.  The comforter is warm but  but light in weight and  the decorative pillows are perfect finishing touches.  I cannot say enough about this product. We moved into our new home and this was absolutely perfect for our room.  By Far the best and our  favorite item we have purchased for our home.  Thank you Wayfair!
