Shockwave blacklight carpet. Does anyone have this?

I am wanting to get this blacklight carpet for my arcade room, and just want to know what color it is without the blacklights on. I posted pics of the carpet lit by blacklights, and also without, and without, it looks green. But lit up it looks bright blue. So just wondering if this is the same carpet or not! Hate to buy it and find out its not the same. Thanks for any help in advance!

Get a sample from a manufacturer. I narrowed my choices down to 2 blacklight carpets I liked and the company shipped me, for free, to fairly large samples. If you're planning on spending the money for it, it's the least they can do.
 
Yes, this is the same carpet. With regular lighting it's a fluorescent greenish color on the black background. When you put blacklight to it, it comes out much more blue. I suspect how blue is dependent on your lights. In my pic, I've only got one 48" bulb for the entire garage. I suspect your photo has quite a few more.

I have it too, it is green without the blacklight and more bluish with it on. It really pops, I like it a lot. It really glows though, guess it depends on your personal taste, sometimes I almost think it's too much, but without the blacklights on, it looks awesome.
 
I may have posted this too early. All the sites that advertise this say its now discontinued. So looks like i wont be getting this carpet, unless someone knows where to still get it?

I was wondering about that when you posted and was hoping it became available again. I looked pretty intensely last year for this and came up with nothing, and I don't need a lot of it either.

Same here. I did read somewhere that custom carpet really isn't much more, if there was some way to have a file of the image created. I'm not sure if this pattern is property of a certain company, although I wouldn't think that would be an issue.

If we're talking custom carpet I'd come up with my own then, something more Tron the movie grids and lines kinda thing, like you see in a lot of Retrowave art.
