At first when it was still in the package the edging is avocado green not turquoise so thought this was a return, But once I opened it - the turquoise was exactly the colored (edging green) but it looks great. This is a overall rug with style for my front door (dogs in and out) and still can keep a designer look at a budget price. The backing has a rubber type so you don't need an extra slip mat underneath.
