Valance is supposed to be blue. When I took the valance out of the package I thought it was a gray green. Holding valance in the sun they look grayish kind of blue.  I had purchased the Coverlet/Quilt at another retailer and this valance is suppose to be a match to that but is WAY darker than the pretty light blue in quilt.  I am going to try to make it work.  Pretty disappointed though.
