The color is exactly as shown and described on the website. I can't speak to its wear/cleaning quality yet since its only been on my floor for a week.  For the price you just can't beat it.  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars - I wasn't impressed with how the rug was packaged.  I would have thought it would have come in a box, no it came wrapped in plastic which of course was sliced open during the shipping process.  Otherwise once the creases came out of it - we are enjoying it.
