Beautiful rug. I like it even more than I thought I would and I think the price is a great deal. I think it’s true to the picture. There is a bit of teal and golden yellow in it but I think it contributes to the overall design. I would describe it as a “carpet” like rug. Be aware that the 9 x 12 is actually about 8’9 by 11’11, a little smaller than 9 x 12. This wasn’t a problem for me, except I ordered the 9x12 rug pad and had to cut a lot off of it.
