The colors are true to the picture: aqua/teal, shades of gray, and ivory.  We purchased the 8x10 for the living room of our Florida home.  Our couch is tan leather and I think the rug makes it look a little on the yellow side but it depends on the light and time of day.  I'm trying not to obsess about that because otherwise I am very satisfied.  It is soft and seems to be easy care.
