A very nice rug for the money. This is for a summer home, so didn't want to spend a fortune. Cream border and accents more dominant than in picture.  Colors are a nice soft sage green, bits of tan (light and dark) with leanings toward gold, a few black outlines, and the strong brown you can see in the picture is actually a reddish brown.  Be warned that there is also gold streaking in the green background, which doesn't show in the 5x7 but is very prominent in the 9x12.  There is even a hint of blue-gray, but maybe not enough to have a blue or gray sofa.  Personally, I would pair this with just about anything brown or gold, or carefully with green.  Our walls are soft yellow, woodwork is reddish brown.  The rug is pretty well perfect for the room.  It is rolled with the pattern inside, so the nap is crushed when you get it.  Vacuum and let it relax.
