The colors are true to picture... Turquoise! Gives the room a beautiful pop of color! My cats love it, they are hardly ever relax on the floor. I LOVE THIS RUG! There are definitely two versions of this rug being rated in the costumer photos. People can ruin the actual rating of a product, by not paying attention. There is a flat, totally different texture, but with same color, same pattern. You can definitely tell them apart.
