Everyone - this rug is NOT red. I know people see color differently - but it is so faded of a 'red' that looks completely pink when you lay it on the floor. The photos in everyone else's photos - it looked red, and so I thought for sure it would be good - but seriously it is salmon/washed out pink. Even with the lights turned off it looks pink. So incredibly disappointed - the pattern is really pretty and the rug itself is very well made for the price - but just a heads up, it looks pink if you're used to looking at anything that is truly red.
