Colors are bright and fun. Feels great under feet- very cushiony.. 
The rug itself is made up of strips of cotton cloth- I assumed from the picture that it was more of a wool-like loom.. So I was surprised to see it actually as tiny strips of cloth tied together, making it more casual. Still pretty and fun, but from picture I thought the rug would be different.  We kept it, though- it can be used in many different rooms.
