Rug color is as pictured navy with ivory. The description does not say that the navy area is looped and  considerably lower than the ivory area.   The Navy area leaves marks on your skin if you sit on it for any amount of time and is very scratchy.  I bought this rug for my 2yr olds bedroom to play on and be changed on after his bath but too scratchy for this.  Would be OK if the use was just to walk on but it is not suited to my purpose & will I be returning.  Also sheds but this is to be expected with wool.
