As many reviewers note, hard to be certain when purchasing on line. There are several photos but the colors do vary.  Of the ones shown, the brighter version is more true in my lighting and what I hoped it would be.  The one that is deep and muted is not as accurate. The quality is very good on arrival. It lay flat readily. I have the rug pad but not installed yet.  The blue background is shaded slightly and has a denim feel in the look. The colors are bold but not flourescent bright, but beautiful jewel tones.  It balances the black tv console and black baby grand piano in the large room.  I may purchase the same one in round for the other end of the large room.  I like the overall pattern and lack of a border.  It was a leap but has turned out great!
