This rug is better than I imagined. Its a rich navy, almost has a denim-blue tone to it. The design is more of a super light grey than white. I was half expecting a rug with little to no pile, but theres just enough that paired with a rug pad, the padding is great. The rug is also incredibly soft, and it laid flat almost immediately for us. I purchased the insurance on it because if it ever gets destroyed, I will 100 be happy to have another one.
