The rug background color IS NOT IVORY anywhere. The background of the rug is more of a light beige  tan. The fern leaf color is definitely teal.  The photo is not accurate because there are also some large greenteal leaves as a lighter background on the rug. Texture is more rough because it is for outdoors as well as inside.  It will be easy to vacuum. The package comes folded in a plastic bag. It is not rolled up. Much easier to handle.
