Love the look of the carpet!  Was expecting the fish to be a little whiter but now glad they aren't as they won't show the dirt as much.  They are good old fashioned light beige.  The blue is not quite as dark as it appears in my pictures and not as light as Wayfair pictures. (At least as they appear on my iPad.). I would call it a true navy blue.   As seen in the close up picture the edge is nicely bound and is reinforced with an burlap type edging underneath.  The carpet is a loose weave.  Quite different.  Almost like a rubber mat but it feels like cotton on your feet.  It is not padded at all and other than the texture you could be walking on the bare floor.  But is is perfect under my dining room table I got the largest size and it stays put.  If you don't plan to put furniture on it you might want to get a rug pad as it is quite light and may slip around.
