This is a beautiful rug!  The color is tough to explain, but as long as you're looking for a light blue color you're safe.  The rug has two looks based on how you lay it, in the photos is the lighter look of the rug.  If taken from the other direction the rug looks darker.  We have two 50 pound black dogs who shed and this rug does a great job of masking their hair in between vacuums.  This was exactly what I was looking for!!!!
