The item was packaged well on delivery. The colours of the rug are as described, and as seen in the photographs provided by other reviewers. The colours of the rug are gray, dark rose, light pink and pale peach. The lighter toned background reads as a light gray and overall the rug looks like it’s an antique rug. The medallions are outlined in a very dark blue colour, which is also seen in the medallion design and the center flower within the medallion. Please note that it is a printed design on the rug which has no nap aka is like a padded mat essentially. It is soft and perfect on top of my bathroom heated marble mosaic tiled floors.
