This is a great rug.  I have other rugs by this manufacturer and always get compliments.  Denim Blues (Dark and Light) are interwoven in lines next to the  Rope fiber which was lighter in color.  Edges are black. fiber weave in the rug is black. Rug is thick - was going to use for entry way so worried someone would trip on it - also wanted  a brighter rug. (I returned and went with Cape Elizabeth Rug) This rug did really stand out on my black wood farm house floor.  Very tight weaves and interwoven tightly  underside so I believe the carpet would of warn nicely.   This would really pop under a table or in an area that does not have high traffic due to it's thickness.  Did love the mixture of color - nice looking rug
