This rug is EXACTLY as pictured. It’s super vibrant and was the perfect buy for our beach themed house. Everyone who sees it loves it and wants to know where I bought it. You definitely need an under-pad to prevent slipping and sliding, which I know can deter some people, but trust me you will not be disappointed with this rug! For the under-pad I recommend “Wayfair Basics Latex Nonslip Felt Rug Pad”- it’s very good quality and can be used over hard wood or on top of carpet and it won’t damage your floors.

I’m so in love with this rug I’m planning to buy additional sizes for other areas in our home! FYI there’s dark navy blues in the rug but there’s also quite a bit of light teal blue within the design which ties in nicely with beachy colours.
