It’s much bluer than in the photo. It does have a worn look, but the binding on the edge of the rug is royal blue not powder blue like the photo and it’s relatively bright, and some of the colors are very bright in the rug not faded like in the picture. I wanted a seafoam blue like the image. It’s also a little too short for the space I want to use it in. 7” counter and this is a 6’ rug. I bought a rug pad to go with this but under chairs it does not need a rug pad so I’ll probably end up using it in the laundry room instead.
