I'M Really Glad I Took A Chance And Ordered This. The Color Is Beautiful. I'M From Ca And Think This Can Be Used All Year Round Here. It Is Fairly Thin As You Can See In My Pic. I Haven'T Used It Yet, As I'M In The Process Of Moving, But Can Tell By The Stitching That This Comforter Will Hold Up Well After Washing. I Would Say The Color Shown Is Accurate. I Plan To Pair It With A Yellow Pillow I Have And Too Look For A Striped White/Gray Throw.
