I purchased this comforter because I liked the color. It's an ivory color, but depending on the lighting, it looks white or light yellow. Either way, I love it. It doesn't come with a pillow sham which I don't need anyway. It's not a heavy comforter which is nice, but it keeps me warm. I had bought a comforter set from another company, and it was a brownish tan color. Not what I wanted. This Walmart comforter fits my color scheme, and I'm really happy with it. It doesn't look cheap and seems well made.
