Nice weight.  Colors are soft.  No shedding.  Center color is more of a soft, light beige.  Border is a bit lighter blue than shown in picture.  Colors include beige,  burgundy red, rust, soft gold, pewter, soft blue.  We were very pleased.   Decided we really needed a larger size.  Customer Service was great and the return process easy.  Can't wait to get the larger rug.
