The colors in real life are much more vibrant greens, which I think still looks nice, but feels very different than the picture. I ordered for a nursery with the premium pad, but all together felt very flat and uncomfortable and not the type of material/thickness I would want for an area where we would be sitting on the floor playing. This type of rug would probably be better suited as a runner or entry way rug, rather than a rug in a living space where you are seeking something more cozy.
