I purchased the green one. It does not look at all like its pictures in my opinion. There is no gold or yellow in my quilt--maybe a tad touch of pale yellow--a tad touch. The paisley's are mostly either tan/beige and green, or olive and green, both with hints of cream and brown intertwined. Yet this quilt consists predominantly of softer greens and blues. If you squint your eyes it appears a blue/green color, probably because its background is a sage blue/green with a little creamy white. I love this quilt--the colors are gorgeous and the construction is excellent. And I never wanted ties on my shams, but I love this so much I do not even mind the ties! I love this so much that I wrote this review! And I am not one for writing reviews!
