I read a review that questioned the color of the navy likening it to royal blue and comparing some online pictures of this same rug I was worried this wouldn’t match my navy blue curtains. To my delight the navy is navy! I couldn’t be happier with this rug! It is in my kitchen so the short pile height is nice for whisk broom crumb clean up and quick wipe ups. Makes my kitchen cozy and the color and design give it a Marian feel and look which pleases this Catholic girl!
