Love this rug! The colors are exactly as pictured.It fits in nicely with my orientals but without the worry of being a victim of a wine spill. A thick pad will give it a good feel.  The reds tend to run more to a bright red and there is some salmon colors but not maroons as others have stated. My camera didn’t brighten the colors. Yes, it is a printed rug but it will not disappoint for the price.
