I love this rug!  This is my third one.  I have one in the dining room, living room, and now, the master bedroom.  My home's colors are neutrals, most rooms have BM Revere Pewter on the walls.  And, I don't get as much light as I'd like, so I stay away from dark floor coverings.  This rug is perfect, the background is tan, the tufting is ivory with accents of a grayish slate blue.  This rug is rather thin, I use a substantial rug pad underneath, which makes it very soft.
