Faded a bit with cold wash but the pattern is beautiful.  I expected it to be quite a bit brighter like the picture (red) but still is enough to stand out.  If you want the brightest red, don’t buy this.  It fades a little and the sheets are soft but but would say they are not the most durable like 100 cotton.  I bought these because of the color and pattern which are hard to find.  These sheets fluff out easy in the dryer and come out wrinkle free.
