I am so glad I got the "blue" version of this rug.  I have it underneath my dining room table and chairs, and it pulls together all the blue/turquoise accents in the two areas: kitchen and dining room.  Some have complained about the white fringe sewed onto the two ends of the carpet, but I actually like it.  It seems a softer off-white to me and doesn't distract.  The above picture seems to have green overtones in it, but fact those parts are a soft wheaten beige color.  The colors are richer, more intense than they appear to be in the above picture, and the total effect is very pleasing.  Two of the corners are having trouble relaxing from being in a rolled up position to laying absolutely flat on the floor, but no problem -- I'm weighing them down with a door stop brick.  They'll be fine in a few days.  Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.  Good product, great value, great pick!
