Nice rug.  The colors look lighter, with less green than in the picture.  As others have noted, the direction of the map changes the color. …depending on on the direction the light comes from.  The  rug looks different in daytime with light coming from the window than it does at night in lamplight from the other side of the room.  I was able to flatten it by putting several very heavy books on the ripples, and moving them around.
