It is  really lovely rug, colors perfect, it does "hide" dirt,  the dog is able to lie on it and not pull any of the fibers, i would not say gold, but yellows blues and abit of gray.   I have looked for along time to try and find the right rug..This is it!
I have had really wonderful service through Wayfaire and look forward to my next purchase!  Thank you for such a great quality rug!
