I was a little nervous about what the colors would look like because I realize that colors can vary depending on the size of the carpet. But, the one I order is just right for my dining room: a mix of blues and white; it looks kind of like one of those old-fashioned braided rag rugs. I really just wanted it for a pop of color and to cut down on the wear-and-tear on my laminate floor, so the thickness is perfect for my needs. Naturally, my dog promptly peed on it, but it was very easy to clean it up.
