Colors are exactly as pictured. Very pretty gold and blue.  However, it is really a very thin rug and, therefore, doesn't have the weight to lay perfectly flat.  The ends curl up and and it still has folds from delivery about a week ago.  (I have been placing heavier rugs and objects on top of it to flatten. Hopefully, it will with time.)  It does give the pop of color I was looking for in my bedroom and warms the room, so I am keeping it.
