I like decent quality percale, not super high thread count, maybe 400
tops (I like a bit of friction). But I'm very fussy about bedding
colors, only very dark colors are acceptible; chocolate, adobe, navy,
red, burgandy, garnet, etc. I don't tolerate light colored bedding
because I sleep with the TV on all night and I don't want the light
reflecting off light bedding colors into my baby blues.
