This new light weight "comforter" is perfect for the hotter months. It's very breathable and thin and it's just right when you want something more than a sheet. The color is white or slightly off white. To me it has no grey in it. In the photo you can see I have an off-white pillow and grey pillow shams and the comforter is much whiter. My only slight dislike about this is that it does seem to wrinkle pretty easily. It packs up very small for storing and comes with two pillow cases as well.
