This is a beautiful rug! The ivory/blue is light and blends almost like a neutral. It has blue, white, ivory, light gray/taupe. I've sent back so many rugs trying to find one the didn't read as too busy for my smallish living room. This rug is thick and well made. It does shed, but it's worth it. There are no fibers sticking out. We needed a thick rug that would help mute sounds upstairs and this one works well. Beware if you have a cat. It's not cat friendly!
