I needed three throw rugs for my laundry 
 room, pantry and storage area that are all 
 connected. I ordered the red to go with 
 wallpaper in the laundry area and wanted a 
 natural fiber. The red is clear and what I 
 would consider a "true" red. It has the normal 
 characteristics of a jute or sisal rug and I am 
 very happy with the purchase!
