Beautiful rug and soft. The colors in this rug aren't a solid blue or even different blue together. There's a mix of a bright blue and black to create this "color". From a distance it looks like a nice blue color, though, but closer up you can definitely tell. The ivory is not completely solid, there are some slightly darker spots mixed in, but this works for us as it'll probably hide dirt and dog hair well. We do wish the blue was more solid or the color was better, but overall we're excited with the addition of this rug.
