I purchased three of these shawls for myself, my co-bridesmaid and my (now) sister-in-law for her recent wedding.  The Emerald Green shawls matched our bridesmaid dresses perfectly and were a nice layer after the sun went down.  The White shawl is a barely off-white and matched the not-quite ivory dress of my brother's bride.

I did not have any problem with the shawls and look forward to purchasing more for myself or for last-minute gifts.
