I love this rug. Colors match picture pretty closely.  I have had it for about 4 months and use it on my covered, outdoor balcony.  It does not get a lot of sun so I don't know if sun affects the color.  However, it does get pretty soaked from rain but dries nicely. It really brightens up the space and makes my balcony feel like an extra room in my condo. Highly recommend.
