btw, she wants a light gray on the walls, a wood floor that has white and gray in it (kind of looks like old barn wood), and painted bookcases and dresser and desk in splashes of the same coral and minty blue that's on the above comforter. Looking for a runner rug by the bed with the same colors and curtains and accessories as well. In fact, I've spent hours looking for a coral pillow or two to throw on the bed for Christmas and finally gave up. Too many choices and not sure of the right color without seeing it in person :( Plus when you type in "coral pillow" you get hundreds of pillows with coral on them hahahaha! Feel free to offer advice! Thanks

Since she's so specific about the color she wants, take her to the mall and check out the sheet sets at jc penney, target, macy's and see if she can pick something out she likes.

To mix patterns, you want to keep print and dimension in contrast...so small geometric, large geometric, small dot, large dot, small check, large check, small floral, large floral can all work together if the colors match/coordinate. But to keep it visually comfortable, stick with some solids as places for the eyes to rest.

I saw coral bedding in the kids section of the bedding department at Target just last week, but can't say if there were sheets, specifically. Check the on line store first.

Ralph Lauren has sheets that are coral and some that are poppy. Here's a link to a new set on eBay.

'Room Essentials™ Microfiber Sheet Set' in coral at Target - HERE.

Several variations in colors of coral here on Amazon.

Google 'Coral color sheets'. Tons of them come up. It's just a matter of what your DD's definition of coral is.

Thank you guys for the specific help. Searching online isn't hard to find them. My issue is that you can't really tell the color from the computer screen. And we live 2 hours from any city with different department stores. That's y I appreciate the help from anybody that's ordered specific sheets they know are a little more orange coral. Thanks!!

take her shopping. That way there will be happy Vegemite all round.

Great excuse to spend the day with your daughter!

Unfortunately, relying on other people to interpret and describe colors is just about as tough as deciding from other online sources. If you can't shop in person, then I'd pick the ones that look the closest to what you're envisioning and see if you can order just pillow cases (easier and less expensive to return). Or find a source that has a generous return policy, maybe free shipping, free returns?

I can't help with color but will add my two cents' about microfiber (I saw a link above). I bought a set of cotton microfiber sheets recently and I hate them! Whatever they do to make cotton into "microfiber" makes a fabric that to me feels weird and unpleasant against my skin.

I have coral colored sheets on my bed and I got them at Macy's -- Martha Stewart Whim Collection.
