I adore these linens. People seem to be ignoring the fact that, despite their seeming thinness, they are significantly more absorbent than thicker towels. You dry off right away, so I'm all for the time savings! I bought the grey/yellow, grey/red, and grey/silver grey because my bathroom is grey (looks bluish). Each appears to be stylish and vibrant. Though they are still bright-white after a few washes, one wonders how they would fare in the event of further stains. I know these weren't designed to be in a kid's bathroom, but I just adore them in mine!
