Beautiful deep blue/indigo color. Made of synthetic silk/polyester but is very soft and has not had much shedding. Also worth noting is that this rug is sold on Zgallerie which gave me more confidence to purchase this from Wayfair without seeing it in person. Chose Wayfair for the free shipping and always reliable customer service. If you are looking for a dark blue shag rug and have good taste, then this rug is a MUST.
