The brick red in my rug is more a pinky colour but the rug is a beautiful quality. I purchased the 8 X11 and wished I had gone a size up, however, I will keep this one and make it work. Was disappointed in shipping, as the date given was a day out and we had stayed home for the first delivery date given. We were quoted Wednesday , then checked again and were told the Friday. As it happened, the carpet  was  left on the front step Thursday, who knew?
