I am so pleased with this runner!  It is for our kitchen- the walls are benjamin moore's EVERLASTING color (a warm sand color) and the island is painted gossamer blue (benjamin moore),  The blues could not blend together any better!  Looks great with the white with gray veining marble counter tops as well since there is a gray to the cream background. If you check out the color swatch for ocean air and gossamer blue, you will have the idea of the blue shade in this rug.
