It doesn't matter what color you get you won't be disappointed, very soft and lightweight. I currently have 3 colors and I just bought one as a gift. I hope my sister will love it as much as my mom, son and I do. I bought my mom a tan one at first and she uses it on a daily basis on our couch, then I just bought the light purple and she takes that one to her doctor's appointments. I bought myself the red one because it's my favorite color and I love it. It will definitely keep you warm. My mom has tried so many other throw blankets and they wouldn't keep her warm, but this one has definitely won our hearts over. You can be 6' tall and still be covered up.
