I ordered the sample in order to get an idea of the color. I was glad I did. The blue in the photo is a baby blue. I am looking for more of a sea/green/blue (seafoam) blue to compliment my family room décor. I am however using the rug as a throw rug at my doorway. So I am not disappointed to have a nice, formal looking throw rug to accent the space. Versus a standard, home store threshold throw rug.

Pros: Looks expensive
Cons: Color not true to internet photo
