I read a lot of reviews about this quilt, especially regarding the color. For me it was the perfect color of an aqua blue (meaning it has a tint of green). The scalloped edge is beautiful and the weight is perfect for my husband and myself. I needed a spread that came down far enough on the sides for our very high mattress and long enough to come down to the bed skirt as well as cover the pillows. This fits all sides perfectly. We did pick an off white/cream bed skirt.
