Color explanation is right on from reviewer before. Cream color back ground, with dark teal, baby blue, and mustard yellow blossoms. the branches are plum and there is little pops of orange in there too. BEAUTIFUL! In my opinion it is BETTER than the picture! The set DOES NOT come with the Euro Size (square 26/26) shams as pictured in the very back. Just the standard size and two decorative shams. The material feels very soft and looks like it will wash up great. I am very happy with my purchase.
