The beige rug seems to have darker lines than in the picture. I would consider it a beige and BLACK. not beige and brown as I thought I saw in the pic. Also, it sheds a lot initially. I vacuum it without the motor brush head and it picks up a good amount of "lint" still. For the positives....it is nice looking and seems easy to maintain and clean. I have 2 small kids, so that was an important factor.
