I was concerned if this was turquoise...it is a few different blues...very light blue is the lightest colour on a white background for some of the coral, the more prounounced colours a an actual TEAL (which is what I wanted in this) and seafoam green, again in the corals...all 3 of those same colours are found in the shells and starfish....so this will probably go with anyone's choice for a beachy themed room....just pick one of these same colours for your walls or sheets etc....it is quite light in weight...but expected for the theme, it is not a "winter" bedspread anyway is it?  A blanket under it would be for warmth...this would suit for summer by itself if you don't have air conditioning on a hot night.  I haven't washed it yet, so no thoughts on its durability.  I'm just happy it has a true teal colouring in it.
