The rug is nice quality - not thick, not thin. The colors can come across a brighter blue - more like cobalt than navy.  Especially the trim edge is definitely bright blue.  It has a nice variety of blue colors, but it is not all navy.  There are light turquoise areas in it as well. There is also a definite "vintage" or "distressed" look, so if this isn't what you're looking for, don't buy this rug.
