I ordered two of these rugs and intended to use one in my kitchen and one in my living room.  The coloring unfortunately did not work in my kitchen, but looks great in my living room!  The blue is a soft blue and complements the coastal/nautical feel I am going for in my living room.  I would recommend this rug to anyone thinking about purchasing it.  

Pros: Quality of rug and great pattern.
Cons: None.
