The rug pattern is exactly as pictured, but the background is not truly ivory its like a baby blue. In pictures it looks true ivory and navy but in person it really appears light blue with navy blue pattern ...kind of funny how pictures work. Even in other review pictures the rug looks true to the color online, but if you read the reviews several other people have mentioned how the rug overall is more of a baby blue background and not an ivory. Material is very thin, but that is how we refer our throws since we have pets. Good quality, color is a bit off though.
