I ordered the 8 x 10, and the colors don’t look dirty in the middle. The lime green is a nice surprise that I didn’t notice in the listing. It’s vibrant. I’ve had it for over a month now with 2 small kids, and so far it has been very easy to keep clean. It’s extremely soft, and plush. Exactly what I wanted for our 10 month old baby over a harder carpeted surface. It’s a higher pile than I’ve ever had, but it’s perfect for our needs. It matches our the light brown/camel leather sectional very well,
