Color is  totally as expected.  A touch of deep purple to blend with solid color dining area rug and the rest...pinks, magentas really work with a very fine area rug that defines the living room area. This lovely rug runs toward the fireplace that separates both areas. Couldn’t be happier with the colors...true there are no knots on the back that define what the pattern is, but I firmly believe in mixing high/low.  (Not home presently but will send a picture when I return!)
