I bought this bedding mainly because the colors and for the pattern, as many have already said, are the actual colors, especially blue, live a little different, but still very nice. What bothers me on the bed linen, is that the material is very hard and scratch, cuddly I do not find him. It is relatively warm, however. Perhaps the fabric is fluffy after a few washes but directly after just one wash I find the fabric too hard, scratchy, not really as one knows beavers.
