Colors are true to the picture.  Rug is very thin.  It kind of reminds me of a rug one would use in your kitchen vs. an area rug.  As other posts have mentioned, this rug has a lot of memory from shipping.  I've had it rolled out for 2 days, am trying to manually work out the curls, but it's not laying flat at the edges ... yet.  It will work fine for my purpose, though, & was a great deal.
