The rug color is true to the picture on the web site. Really nice navy/white. However, the texture of the rug is much more like a heavy sweater. It was bought for a dining room and ,even with a pad, the rug pulls and bunches every time a chair is moved. It also is extremely susceptible to pulling on the fibers especially with pets.  It seems clear that, after less than a month, it won't work out and will have to be replaced.
