Rug is as advertised.  Note that it is thin...but edges are nicely finished and using a pad under makes it more plush feeling.  The colors re muted brown, oatmeal and medium blue...with touches of navy blue.  All colors and the pattern appear washed.  Really quite nice and we are happy with the 9x12 we purchased (the size is actual...it isn't smaller as is the case with some rug purchases!).
