Exactly as described.  Lovely rose-pink colour.  I washed it twice before using.  No issues with piling, shedding or snagging after the first washes.  The towels are thirsty yet do not take super long to dry in our West Coast humid climate.  I would purchase again.  I am also glad I bought the pink colour first because my husband would be more hesitant to bring this towel with him when he goes off to play hockey.
