The colors are beautiful. I think ours is slightly darker than the advertised photos. I'm okay with that though since this is in our entryway. It rolled out well. The tighter rolled side needed something heavier to press down but the other side was flattened on its own within 6 hours.
 I purchased the recommended rug pad for under it, in the same size but they don't completely line up so I may have to trim the pad. 
I really like the rug so far and would recommend.
