I was very on the fence about ordering this online. I wanted a nice pop of color for my too earthy living room (mocha walls, beige flooring and dark brown furniture) but I was worried this would either be too bright or too navy or something completely not what I was hoping for.Wow was I wrong and oh so pleasantly surprised! It's absolutely perfect and very true to the pictures. I would describe it as a dark jewel tone turquoise - just gorgeous. I could not be happier with my purchase or how very rich it makes my living room look. Also for those who may be wondering as I was, this is a very heavy and well made rug. The 8 x 12 is about 45# and with the non-slip rug pad sold on Wayfair, it's lovely to walk on and stays exactly where you put it. This also shipped very quickly (much sooner than expected) and the delivery man was kind enough to bring it into my home and place it for me so all I had to do was unwrap and unroll it.
