Comforter is a greyish purple but has a pinky tint in pictures I take so doesn't reflect the true color of the product.  It is very warm which I didn't expect and was desiring.  I don't even need a blanket most of the time in winter months.  I'm enjoying it very much.  Haven't attempted to wash it yet as I don't have a machine big enough.  I also bought a size larger than my bed size as I need longer/wider comforters in order to ensure covers the mattress and springs and hangs closer to the floor.
