Best blanket I have EVER purchased!! And my nick name is Linus because I have been a blanket nutt all my life. This blanket is so soft, color is a beautiful rich blue. It's not navy blue, but like a deep sea blue. I have a California king Matt set and this blanket does cover the bed. There's not a whole lot of room left over to snuggle, but it covers me nicely and keeps me warm. I have not known when it's been -2 outside in Colorado!!
