This rug was perfect for my purpose to add color & character to a bedroom. The colors were exactly as pictured with mostly soft teal blues blending into soft powder blues & a deep navy with touches of ivory & gold ; the mix of colors fading softly into each other helps this rug blend into the variety of settings & I did not have to worry about exactly matching the other blue accents already in my bedroom.  The texture is thin but very soft to the toes; I do not need a rug pad & the rugs are staying well in place anchored under a few furniture pieces, but consider a rug pad if you want a thicker feel underfoot.  I am enjoying this rug tremendously.
