This rug is very nice, not too teal, not too green, very neutral and well made.  Perfect for my outdoor patio.  It seems maybe some people enhance the color in their photos to make it appear brighter in color than it is.  Although I will say you can't really go against its color scheme when you decorate on or around it.  It won't look right. If your colors are neutral, perfect, if teal, even more so, if you decorate in a pale green, that works too.
