The picture is pretty accurate in terms of color.  Since the Euro shams are black, they will show up better on a light-colored headboard.  The bed skirt is black, so the edge color of the comforter and bed skirt blend together in one chunk of black. The queen size does not drape down as far as the picture, but the bed skirt takes care of the possible gap.

Pros: For the price, I thought the material and quality were good. 
Cons: None
