The colors of the actual rug are not as faded as they appear in the pictures.  The blue is a fairly bright color.   Not quite what I was expecting, however I do still really like the rug.  It is a beautiful rug and appears to be made of higher quality threads making it soft and comfortable to walk on with bare feet. 

Pros: Excellent quality
Cons: A little brighter color than I was expecting.  The picture gives it more of a faded look, which isn't the case.
