This rug is really beautiful.  The navy is very dark, & looks black in some light.  We purchased the 5 foot by 7 foot and a small rug for our front door area.  The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, is that the rugs (that are only 4feet apart) look different colors.  When you stand over one rug, it looks navy, but the rug 4 feet away looks black.  And when you stand over the other rug, it looks navy and the one across the room looks black.  The pattern & colors are true to the pictures.
