This is a very colorful and bright rug. As stated in the description, some of the colors (though not most) are truly fluorescent. At first we found the colors almost shockingly bright, but after a few days we came to absolutely love it! It is very soft under the foot and is has a plush & thick feel. It also provides a much needed damper to noise in a two-story space. All our pets can now be found scattered on the rug. They know a comfortable spot when they find one! I would highly recommend this upcycled rug, but be ready for a color rush. This item is definitely not neutral!
