If you want a rug that is inviting but understated, elegant, not too thick, and soft to the touch, this is a good choice. I've noticed that the rug changes colors throughout the day, going from a greenish blue, to a more teal blue. The background color matches perfectly to my Sherwin Williams "Underseas" SW 6214, which is a grayish blue green. If you want something with more sage green or yellowish green, this would not be the one.  The design colors in the rug would work nicely with taupe, chocolate brown, or even a warm/purplish gray, such as Sherwin WIlliams "Sensuous Gray" SW 7081.
