The color is perfect for my living room.  I was a little worried because I was replacing a cream-colored area rug that I have had for 4 years.  And it pairs very well with the other area rug in my great room (which I also got from Wayfair) that has a terracotta, beige and blue pattern on it.  Unlike the patterned rug, however, I did buy a gripper/pad for the rug, because it's a little thin.  Overall, I am so very satisfied!
