I ordered these in red.  The color is actually a little more coral than red, but that was ok for where I was using them.  I washed them before I used them.  They came out OK, but there was a lot of lint captured in the dryer lint trap.  I'm hoping that was the case because it was their first washing.   Other than that, they washed and dried well, and are very soft.  They are a loose knit so they may snag quite easily, but for the money they are a good buy.  You can't beat the price for 2 throws.
