This rug is not as pictured. It appears to be the same color from one end to the other, just different shades of the same color. It's not - It is navy/black lightening to teal/white and these pairings do not even come from the same palette/color wheel. The middle is some mix of teal and grey that really just looks pattern-less and slightly dirty.

Otherwise it is soft and feels nice underfoot. It does require a thick pad underneath as it is quite thin as other buyers have commented. Ours came with 2 significant creases in the middle, that I imagine would ease with time.
