They're very elegant. Slightly a more blueish gray than the rest of my bathroom, but they work well. My only complaint is within first time of use, the hand towels seem very susceptible to staining. I like that there are a plain ones and floral printed ones. They aren't as thick as I thought they'd be but they're very soft. I wish there were more thab just 2 of the larger drying towels per set.
