I was hesitant to order an outdoor rug on line. I felt the colors might look different in person, or that the background color wouldn’t be to my liking. This rug has surpassed my expectations!! It is a beautiful pop of color that picks up the red accents of my umbrella and several planters. The different colored circle “dots” are different shades of the same color-for this reason it matches almost every shade of cushion..In my case, it adds color to an otherwise very monochromatic blah color scheme. Everyone that comes to visit comments on how beautiful my rug looks..
