My rug was nearly true to the picture but a tiny bit more faded, which was fine because I really like the look of wear-and-tear and the rug and it adds character to my room.  It matches with my dark gray cabinets as well as my wood tables.  Many colors in it, but all are misty and faded, so no glaring offensive colors.  All blend well.  HIGHLY satisfied.  Looks very high-end!
