Good rug for the money, I agree that the colors are off, though it is hard to see in any photos that arent proffesional photography. The light areas are more of a taupe than a true white.  There is also a problem with the rug bunching up in places, so a rug pad will be needed.  However, with all those pronlems mentioned, it is still a geat rug for the price....does fit and looks great in my apartment.  I really great first buy!
