The colors in this rug are just as bright as they look on line. We have 2 on a large covered front porch. Although the porch is covered, they still get wet when it rains. They are exposed to very little sun, however. We have had them for a few months, and so far, they still look new. We had to put carpet tape around the edges because the wind kept blowing the edges up. We have outdoor rug pads under both rugs. We are very happy with the rugs.
