I waited long enough and finally found the  comforter bed set that I wanted at a great price Just the color that I wanted too– not tan, not beige, not gray – but taupe! I'm very specific about color and my description of taupe is a cross between gray and beige. The background is a warm cream color.  This set is very rich looking and has many pieces. The pattern, fabric, and pillows create a rich looking and beautiful bed set! I am very very pleased.
