I was hoping for a turquoise like the original picture and what I had read in the reviews but mine is truly a navy blue not dark rug.  That said it is beautiful and goes very well in our home. I like the weight and length of the nap as well around 3/4 of an inch is just right.  The best thing is the speed which I received my rug. The original message gave an estimated shipping almost 5 days later then when it arrived. Getting something sooner is always a treat.
