I am not one to order anything on line because I like to touch items - especially textiles - before making a purchasing decision. However, after weeks of looking for the "perfect" new bedding for our room I decided to take a chance and order the Charleston set. So glad I did! The colors are indeed richer than they appear in the photo (thank you veggies22288 for pointing that out in your review!). The combo of the bedding with our olive green carpeting and newly painted "Cajun Red" (a rusty/paprika color) walls makes for a cozy master retreat.
