Is this too heavy (warm) for florida? Is the gold really a gold or is it ivory?

This comforter is a light gold. I will leave this on the bed in summer air conditioning so Florida should be fine. I love it!

True beige color. It's extremely comfortable and works well in temps that are very low. If you tend to be cold get this.

I think it's very hot myself. I live in Florida (but use the AC) and don't sweat with a quilt, but sweat a lot with this comforter.

It's more of a creamy yellow, but there ARE squares that have an ivory background. I have an ivory dust ruffle, and ivory curtains in the room, and it looks great. I've been more than pleased with the quilt. It's not too heavy, even though it's all cotton. I does just barely cover the sides of the mattress though, and I'd probably like it better if it was just a TAD bigger all the way round, but I do love the quilt. I just noticed that some of the answers said it was ivory - but all I can say is that the major color of the background looks more creamy yellow compared to my ivory dust ruffle.

Yes gold. I bought it thinking it was going to be more of a champagne color.

I just got this set. It is actually a darker cream not yellow. The comforter isn't real heavy but not a cheap thin thing either. I live in California too and think this is the perfect weight and color I was looking for. Very happy with the quality! (The price seemed too good to be this nice!)

The color is ivory and it doesn't have a bad smell..It actually has a very mild scent. It's a great product and you should give it a try.

It's passable, but does not match. This is definitely more antique yellow than antique ivory. I agree with Laurie below.

We have had no issue with the material being too warm and we live in Florida. It gets quite hot here and as long as we have had the hammock we have never felt that it was too hot. With our weather we always bring the hammock in before we go to sleep. It still looks and feels brand new.

It should be good for Chicago weather. It was just a little to warm for me personally, but then, I'm in Florida. It's a good looking comforter.

Sorry, I thought that I answered your inquiry when it came in, but I guess I didn't. It's neither ivory or yellow, it's very much a gold color. The top part a dark gold and the bottom part is a light gold. It is definitely in or on the yellowish side, just not a bright yellow. That's why I refer to it as gold. It's pretty, but you must have a liner and I wouldn't recommed it for a small bathroom like I have. It's on the darker side and makes the room feel small.

I live in Florida & use this year round. I find it to be warm but not oppressingly hot in summer. It might br too light foe winter if you live in a cold region

Flat yellow gold would be a good description. It is not sparkly or shiny at all. Think Oil-cloth if you're familiar with that material.

Not sure but I did not like the gold tone of the metal, too yellow. I thought it was gold filled which does not tarnish or fade. If its plated it will usually discolor over time.

Yes, it is very full and fluffy, I live in Florida and I don't find it too warm, I think its just right! And its great with my duvet because of the tabs on the end

Yes its a bright gold like the 4+ star rating next to it. I was looking for pale yellow and its not AT ALL PALE.

It is too heavy for my spring/summer use. We tried it, but I'm already looking for a lighter weight for summer. Hope this helps you. We do love it, very pretty. My husband loves the grey shade & the feel of this set.

Great comforter, but for me it's too warm. The weight is fine, just too warm. My wife and I like it pretty cold. Hope this helps.
