The light birch color is a lot lighter in person than in photo - get Alloy if you want a true grey. The button closures are terribly tight and a super pain to undo/fasten. The duvet moves around in this duvet cover so much, after every night I'm sleepin in a ball of blankets. And the duvet slips out through the end where the button closures are so the appearance isn't nice that way. The material is very soft though. Would not repurchase.
