Per the other reviewers, color is off more pink, still works for us and the rug does shed!  I have had this with other rugs I purchased from Pottery Barn which clogged my vacuums!  I am aware of that, it takes about a year for the shedding to stop and makes cleaning something you must think about but it's been so convenient to purchase and deliver the round in 6' it really fits the space well and I'm willing to put up with the shedding plus I know all these rugs seem to do this these days.
