We got the yellow version of the Sierra Paddle rug. It's definitely a muted yellow gold, not too neon or bright. It's a great color. The rug is light weight. It slipped all over our hardwood floor until we added a rug pad. We've got plenty of furniture on the rug, so I'm not worried about it, but if you wanted it to float more, that may be a concern. The rug is very low profile. It's not soft, but it's comfortable on bare feet. I'm using it in an office so we're pulling out chairs over it all day. We'll see how it holds up to that high traffic abuse.
