The pattern is slightly raised. Color is close, the ivory just a bit darker.
I ordered these runners because I initially ordered the silver ones, but those were lavender not silver in color so be careful when ordering them, so I returned them. But I took a chance that the blue would be closer to the color in the pictures from other reviewers, also I like the pattern and that it was wool and hand tufted. So glad I did. They are the perfect shade of blue. The Ivory is more yellowish hue and a bit darker, not a white kind of cream, but for the price and size I needed, I am happy.
I ordered another but that is sadly a tan cream, like the color of wheat...nowhere near the Ivory cream, but it was on a separate transaction and it was a small 4' rug for the bathroom. It was a disappointment that the color was way off.
