I really appreciate the fully elasticized fitted sheet because I have a bed with adjustable base and it stays put. I would've given 5 stars but disagree with the description of "smooth and silky" feel.  The sheets I received are just a bit on the scratchy side, and this is after 2 washes. As for the color, I chose Ivory. It has more of a golden tone to it versus your typical off white. Luckily, it works for our comforter set. I have to point out that people have been saying in their reviews that the sheets come out wrinkled. That's what cotton does! These are a cotton and polyester blend and are NOT wrinkle free, and that's ok. I like to iron the pillow cases because they're visible when the bed is made. Lastly, this is strange, but the sheets are 2- toned. One side is ivory, the other is not. If that will bother you, then don't get these sheets. See picture.
