Perfect for a mudroom, entry or outdoors in dry climates.  It's hard to pin down the colors from the online photos because the colors look different in each photo. It's definitely not navy as navy is a VERY dark blue; this rug is brighter and lighter, more like an "ink" blue. Scribble with your blue BIC pen - that's more like the color! Ivory or cream is an accurate description of the contrasting color. Tip: I used double sided carpet tape to hold it in place and it works like a charm. I do love this rug for my mudroom!
