WOW,WOW,WOW! I bought two of these 'Aluminum' throws! The color is Magnificent! They are a lot darker than is shown in the picture-I knew this before by reading the reviews. It looks like a dark chocolate with blush threads running throughout. I put these with on my sofas and these spreads brought the sofas to life! these are perfect size. The weight of the linen is heavy! These throws can stand up to any $300.00 throw! I'm in LOVE!!!
