I absolutely love this comforter.  I wasn't sure about the description of the color, because it looked pure white in the pictures.  I really is almost pure white.  I laid it next to a pure white bath towel and it is just the slightest bit off-white.  I paired it with a wheat-colored headboard and it looks pure white.  I bought a queen for my queen size bed and I like the way it fits.  I do have to use a dust ruffle, though.
