With the exception of the navy the colours are gentle and natural - the cushion is a good “useful” size - to put at the back of you or to rest your head on. My sofas are a very small mixed pattern of blue-grey/white and these two cushions look great on it - provides a subtle bit of pattern, colour and texture without being overpowering. I bought the first one a few months ago and it’s fared/worn well - still looks good.
