The colours are depicted very well from computer screen to real life.  I first bought the mat size as the others were not in stock (to have a large sample) but it will be used for sure.  It is hand woven and not machine made so there are some variations in the tightness of the weave.  I gave it a 4* as some floats (very few) are a bit loose and I can not say that it is reversible rug.  It is a rug to be used on one side only.  Beautiful rug!
