This rug is tufted or looped rather than crushed wool look.  So it is perfect as a runner - more durable in my opinion.  I thought the color was more orange and yellow with light green leaf, however it was more red with off white and pale grey blue leaf.  It would not be my first choice as I liked the colors I was looking for, but it does match well enough for the hall and the price was especially reasonable.  It has warm and cool colors in it so would blend well with any décor.
