Nicely made duvet; good quality and sheen to the cotton.  Agree with another reviewer that the blue is closer to a "real" blue than what is seen in the photo (which looks a bit like teal).  This duvet is in one of our bedrooms that is neutral- linen white walls, beige/white headboard and bed skirt and beige rug- and the beige and white "specks" in the pattern pull all of the colors in the room together.
