These sheets are lovely in person, and the colors are slightly warmer than pictured, on a white base.  The roses are pale, warm pink and peach, on a white base, with darker warm pink accents,  and yellow with the same light and dark pink accents.  The leaves are beige, pale yellow, and olive green.  After washing, the sheets have a crisp feel, and if you pull them from a warm dryer, they stay fairly smooth without having to be ironed.  Now that they have been washed several times, they are even softer.  I love them, and would say that they are definitely worth the price.
