This is a very nice rug.  It's heavy enough that it flattened out right away.  Because I already had the red cushions for my dining room chairs and beige walls and  gold curtains, I was limited in the color rug I could choose for this room without redoing everything.  The rug has all those colors plus blue, which is my accent color throughout my living/dining area.  The center blue looks brighter than the other blue in the rug, but that is only because the sun was shining right on that area when I took the photos. The blues are the same color throughout the rug. I don't think I could have found a better rug to fit right in as this one does.
