The color was exactly what I wanted, a darker olive color. I have had Flokati rugs before some years ago, and was surprised to find these a little on the thin side. I had bought a thin non-skid pad for under the rugs, and may decide to buy a thicker pad just for the comfort. I love the feel, as they always are warm to my feet in my bedroom. My cats also love them, and I think it is because they are warm and comfortable.
