The colors are beautiful-very vivid.  It was bought to brighten up a dark room.  It more than brightened it up-it lent personality.  Very happy with the purchase.  The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because it was a thinner rug than I was expecting.  Was hoping for a thicker nap.  The rug came a day earlier than was expected.  Great company to deal with so far!
