The color is true to what is depicted which we are very happy with.  We purchased this for an outdoor space and liked the idea that it could be cleaned off easily with a garden hose and that it wouldn’t get soggy with this type of cleaning.  The problem is that it is not heavy enough to keep the wind from blowing the edges up even with a chair on each corner.  I would not recommend this for outside because it won’t stay flat. If you have an enclosed porch with no impact from the wind then it may suit your needs.
