Was considering a few different rugs and decided to purchase this one because the colours worked with what I was looking for.  The main blue/turquoise is definitely on the darker side, and it's one of those rugs that the colour varies depending how it's brushed/vacuumed.  The back of the rug mentions a pile height of 7mm - so not as plush as I was expecting based on the description (but still much better than a flat style).
