I was very disappointed when I received this rug as the picture appears to be cream colored while in reality the background color is a sage as even stated on the manufacturer's label. Before I ordered this rug I had read reviews which described the background color as either a teal or blue.  So I called Wayfair to confirm the color and was assured by the customer service rep that the color was cream with multi colored birds.  So imagine my surprise when I recd the SAGE rug!
Having said that, the rug is very cute looking and quite thick and soft to the feel.
