I was on the fence about this rug for months due to the reviews stating it looked navy and orange in person. If you are in the same boat, I included a picture of the rug against my black console table. 

When you get close while the rug is in bright light, it honestly does pull more navy, but you have to get REALLY close to see it. Otherwise, in typical use (5-6’ away from the eyes) it looks black. I also love the other colors within it! 

If you are on the fence, this is your sign to just order it!
