Prettier than I was expecting.  Really brightens up my office and the cats LOVE it.  I am a horrible decorator but this carpet made it so much easier.  If the color was in the rug, it would have to work anywhere in the room, right?  Gave me the courage to get yellow curtains and it all looks great.  More than worth what I paid for it.
EDIT: Added a photo after I got the couch. (Also Wayfair.)  It is all Bernie approved.
