The teal is a nice color, the beige and most of the teal color are fairly light with darker shades for contrast.  The rug is thin, about 3/8 inch thick, but sturdy and it flattened nicely within a day of unrolling (no hazardous curled up edges or corners).  My daughter was so happy with this rug in her living area that she requested a second one for her dining area, which we just ordered.
