The color is pretty, a dove gray, but I like happier colors. It is snuggly, good for mornings sitting in bed, etc. I like the oversize for day usage, since I can tuck all of me in it. I can still tuck myself in this regular size, but it's not as roomy. It can get hot, but it is designed for cold, not cool weather. It is soft, like a snuggly cat. Doesn't smell of chemicals. I wash cold, delicate, and line dry after a few minutes in low dryer setting. I'm just barely out of the petite range, so it touches the tops of my feet.
