Beautiful silvery gray in color. Super soft, high quality feeling! Light material, but not transparent and it  "hides" everything under the bed. The split pleats work perfectly around the "posters" on my bed And the pleat in the middle of each side makes it attractive to look at.  The material that goes under the mattress is a bit of a rough texture, but, to me, that is a great as it helps prevent the skirt from sliding out.
