Several reviews said the color was brighter than pictured, and I have to agree. It’s much brighter and more vibrant. But that’s actually what we wanted so we were happily pleased. We were looking for a good mix of navy, gray, white and off white (aka to easily hide dog dirt) and we definitely found it. The rug is thin, but not overly so. I don’t notice it. Because it’s a little thinner, it did take a few days for it to lay flat. But eventually gravity wins out and it’s been fine. We love it!
