This rug is very pretty. It's so hard to see the colors online. It's a very light aqua with white wavy lines running thru it that almost seem silver if you rub the nap in the opposite direction. The matching runner is in a high traffic area and the footsteps definitely show up as light and dark spots, which might drive me crazy if I didn't love the 6x9 rug so much. I have dark wood floors and this rug really lightened up the room. The rugs shipped from 2 different places which might account for the slight difference in how the colors appear. Ive only had the rugs 2 days so it's hard to know how they will wear, but the price was right so if they have to be replaced in a couple of years, that won't be a big deal.
