I love, love this rug!  It is bold and colorful.  Colors are true to the picture.--turquoise, blue, orange, red, yellow and a little white, purple and yellow.  It will coordinate with any primary colors.  We have ordered a pad for  it.   The  rug doesn't feel like it needs a pad, but I understand that rugs wear better and last longer when there is a pad. Everyone who comes into our house exclaims about its beauty.
