appearance is a teal rug with some ivory threads, however, it has more dark blue and green threads in it that it appears.  It still worked for me but thought it would be more teal with ivory specs.  It is very flexible since it is weaved and definitely need a rug gripper underneath unless furniture will be holding it in place.  Even with furniture in place, it seems to move or wrinkle up.  I will add rug grip.  Otherwise, I am happy with my purchase.
