Carpet was lighter than the picture, even the ones taken by customers (I looked through them all).  The blue "denim" color goes from a mid-wash to a powder-wash color and pebble is definitely a lighter tan than say a pebble in a watershed.  Do like the binding and the low pile as I needed carpet to slip under swing of front doors when opened. Carpet still does not lay completely flat, even after being down for 1.5 weeks; small ripples because the rug was rolled quite tightly.  I am keeping the rug, as it will work (or I'll use in another room), but would have liked it tonally darker.  Appreciated the minimal packaging, although wish it would have been rolled in paper rather than the thicker plastic.
