The colors are beautiful, nice and airy looking. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I think the comforter would have looked even better if the floral design had covered a bit more of the comforter. I don't mean covering the entire comforter, but not having as much white on one side. Also, if you want the comforter to drape longer on the sides, you had to order a larger size, which affected the size of the pillow cases. Still, I really like the set & would recommend buying it.
