The colors in the photos are very misleading! The rug is not quite as dark in person and reads more like a teal or blue with some green undertones rather than a true green. The fibers have a slight sheen to them too, meaning that in some lights, it's almost a light silvery blue. It's still a beautiful rug—soft, with a bit of thickness, and very pretty details. I attached two photos—one in daylight, one with yellow-er lamp lights, to see the difference against my true green couch.
