I wanted something with an overall “neutral” look but with some pizazz. I also want some with with some color because I have grey furniture, dark brown wood floors, and cream walls. There’s a little more light blue/ tealish color in it that I thought, but I still like it. I got the 8x10 and the 8’ runner (shipped separately- should be arriving in two days). I have a felt rug pad underneath. The material feels softer than some cheaper/target/walmart type rugs. Personally I liked more of the navy colors so I placed the more grey side under my couch. So far so good
