love love love this rug.  Color is as shown for the most part.  There is a blue tint in it as well depending on the lighting and furniture/color scheme.  Luckily that wasn't an issue for me.  Very soft rug!! Which is what I was looking for since my rug I had was everything but soft.  Only issue is trying to get it to lay flat and that there is a lot of flaws.  Lots of strings hanging out in random spots and lines that look like snags.  I would return and try again but that seems like a lot of work.  I feel like it might just be the way the rug is.  Regardless of the flaws, I really like this rug.  I ordered it on a Friday and got it on Monday (a day early) The other reviews helped me with my decision on the rug. Especially the ones with the pictures.
