This rug is very cute and funky. It is really a bright magenta, not a purple/violet as shown, however the colors are bright and pretty. Because it is more of a bright pink/magenta than purple I can't use it as planned, however I will try to use it in another place since it is a very fun rug.  The light blue color is more of a turquoise and it has some bright orange and teal. A fun rug for sure but not purple. Laid flat very quickly.
