This rug is beautiful.  The colors are brighter than in the photo. I purchased the rug for an outdoor conversation area and it looks fabulous with the wicker furniture.  The colors in the rug match the colors in the couch pillows.  The description says the background is dark green but I have to say it's dark gray, which I am very happy about.  This is the fourth area rug I have purchased from Wayfair and all of them have exceeded my expectations.
