I got my comforter set yesterday, so I'm still getting used to it. For some reason I thought that it would be a little lighter than it was, even though I read the other reviews. Even so, it is very elegant, and the color works with my other decor. The overall color is rust, or copper. There are some other colors in the fabric, but when you step away, the predominant color is rust. The pattern is subtle, so it blends with my traditional oriental rugs. (They have rust in the mix.) The workmanship is excellent. There are even zippers on two of the three decorator pillows, so that you can remove and dry clean the covers. The cover does change with different lighting.I have some old Ralph Lauren sheets with similar colors, so I will be using those with the comforter set. All in all, it was a great value. I have paid much more for a comforter and bed skirt alone. The number of pillows and covers included was a bit of overkill, though. I am using some in my living room.
