This is a beautiful rug.  I love it.  It looks so much like a vintage, well used rug, soft under foot;  it's already fooled my neighbor!  The colors are muted, very close to the online photos but maybe not quite as bright.  It is fairly distressed with large areas of lighter colors and much variation throughout.  It works so well in my eclectic, boho-inspired home and living room.  Again, I love it!!!
