Absolutely calming, fresh, and gorgeous.  The color is mint flecked or thatched, with short white stripes which only serve to enhance the soft mint striped  "Tiger" design.  I just love it.  it arrived today and i can't wait to set it up with my lighter down comforter.  it would coordinate nicely with white, pink, blush, mint or hunter green, and even a medium grey- hued sheet set.
  The duvet may be a soft gentle color, but it's very versatile.  The fabric feels very durable and smooth/soft, not prone to wrinkling. On my computer, it was a guess as to whether the color leaned to a shade of blue or green -'- I'm very happy it's  mint.  I'll have a new favorite duvet for spring (even though it's suitable for year-round use;I love the color and easy of maintenance for summer).  It's machine washable.  ty.
