I wish there would have been more pictures to show the color subtleties in the rug. This rug is definitely an inky blue, but with grey and a slightly lighter blue in the mix of fibers as well. More noticeable in-person, though you can see more subtle differences within the image provided. I was still very happy with the color in-person, but just a forewarning! The fibers themselves are soft, but not super plush soft. The backing of the rug is very nice quality! Overall very happy with my purchase.
