I thought the designs on the top were going to be more of a green color.  They are more of an Army green or a light taupe color.  Overall the set it still pretty nice and a good value.  I like the feel of the cotton, but it can be prone to wrinkling.  When I washed the shams, the piping along the edges got a little out of whack and misshapen.  It took some doing to work it back into shape.
