I really went out of my comfort zone with this rug. I was looking for something a little more monochromatic, but I have to say that I am glad that I went through with the purchase. It allowed me to pull from the varying colors in the rug to add more dimension to the room. But the yellow is more prominent than what some of the photos of those who purchased the rug posted. The rug is soft and feels nice to walk on and the kids and dogs both like to lay on it. It took a good day for it to even out and lay flat, but I have not had any issues since. For the price of this rug, I think it was an excellent purchase.
