I have not laid out this rug as of yet as I am having new flooring installed and not ready to unroll it.  However, I am very pleased with the colors in this rug.  I was concerned that the blue might be a baby blue or powdery blue based on the photo colors, but it is very much a slated, gray blue (almost more gray than blue).  Thanks, Wayfair, for notifying me that the 9 x 12 was back in stock!  It looks great and I'm looking forward to seeing it in my living room!
