I am always skeptical of items that state theyre all season, cooling, etc. As they have never lived up to the claim. This is genuinely first product that actually does what it states. I can see using blanket all year. It has been warm so we have the fan on. Having this blanket on I didnt get warm. The color is a shade of a blue teal. It is very soft and feels nice on the skin. Not scratchy. The size I picked I believe was the equivalent to a king. It is large and covers our queen bed and has left over so there is enough without fighting for the blanket. I highly recommend this blanket. You wont be disappointed.
