This rug looks exactly like the pictures - colors are just what I wanted. Gorgeous indigo/denim blue, burnt orange rust, with a hint of mossy green on overall ivory/beige background which keeps the rug from being too dark on our hardwood floor. It IS a pattern that appears "printed on"...no issue for us, but might not be what someone else is looking for. With 2 shedding dogs, wanted extremely low pile/no loops rug. A grippy rug pad is absolute MUST with this rug - it's super slippery on wood floor. Again, no issue for me.
