Rug is very pretty. The colors depicted online are true, light ivory center with a light tan border. My only disappointments are the edges of the the rug are slightly wavy in places. It makes the rug look a little misshapen. Also there is a light stain or discoloring on the outer tan border in one corner. My husband can't see it, only me so we decided to keep it instead of hassle with the return. But still a bummer knowing it's there when we paid for a brand new rug.
