My bedroom is lavender and I bought this duvet cover in grey.  I got it to cover my white down comforter, which - thanks to our retriever - I have to wash once a month once I start using it in winter.  The color is great, it's real smooth material and the pleats dress it up more than I'd thought.  I don't use the included pillow covers, but for someone who wants a complete look this is a great deal.
