Gorgeous! Beautiful! I love this carpet! The outer color is close to eggplant, rather than black. The flowers are a meduim tones of mixed colors. The weight of the carpet is perfect, it isn't thin at all. The underside is finished with a nice trim, so it isn't cheap or flimsy looking, my cat loved it too. He snuggled up on it as soon as we layer it down. So it is a keeper!
