We bought 2 sizes of this rug- one as a runner in a longer upstairs hallway and a shorter one for the landing between our stairs.  The colors are just as they appear in the picture and work great in a neutral color scheme (we have dark hardwood floors with a light beige color for the walls). We bought a rug pad to keep the rug from slipping- the rug pad stays in place, but the actual rug continues to slip along the surface of the pad.  A little disappointed, but it's an easy fix (will buy something to adhere the pad and rug together). Otherwise I would've given it a full 5 stars.

Pros: great colors (as pictured in the photo)
Cons: still slips with rug pad use
