I chose the one with the green background. Because the one with the blue background looked like it was blue and pink, and I didn't want pink. And I was just settling for the green background (looked pretty in the picture) because it was blue and salmon color and that's the colors of my living room. Anyway, the green is hardly noticeable. If I didn't purchase green, I would have not known that it was green. Meaning if you're looking for green, this isn't it. But I love the colors because that's the color of my living room. Blue and salmon color. Rug has beige back ground. i really think they sent me the wrong one, but i'm happy with what I got.
