Definitely more light than blue. The pattern is kind of a 'faded' look, so don't look for too much detail in this rug. The rug is thinner, so good to break up the room, maybe not good if you're looking for extra padding on a tile/ wood floor. Cheap price I liked. Once laid flat, the corners took about 2 days to drop, and there is still a little 'speedbump' about 1.5 feet in from one of the sides. At this point tho, too much of a pain to return, so I'll just keep it.
