This rug is beautiful. The center blue is bold and vibrant within the bright yellow. The colors start out very pale on one end, get brighter with blues, yellows, and reds towards the center, and then turn bold and vibrant with greens, light blues, and then oranges by the other end. This rug will go on my condo balcony. I am waiting for a bright blue chair that will show off the bright blue in the center of the rug.
