When I ordered this rug, I thought the description put it in a "green" category, but when I received it I though uh, oh it's blue.  As it turns out I have a seafoam livingroom with turquoise accents (which sounds strange, but my designer came up with it and it looks awesome).  When I put the rug down in my foyer (to the left is this livingroom and to the right is a cranberry red diningroom) it pulled all of the colors from these 2 rooms, plus the darker beige hallway all together.  I was shocked and amazed.  It was actually a better color option than what was in my head.  The quality of the rug is superior and it doesn't block the front door from opening.  Love this purchase and have gotten so many compliments on it, I've lost track of how many!!!
