I just received the shams and they are lovely. It was my second try because my computer does not give me the exact colors. This had enough of the fuchsia color to match my comforter. I will say though the red backing looks like fuchsia on my screen. These are the colors which are very pretty together. Red, muted red, purple, fuchsia, orange, gold, dark green, light green, dark brown, light brown. The stitching is turquoise. The back is bright red and I wish it were green or fuchsia but I like them a lot anyway. I don't know how they launder.
