Perfect material for our mudroom, which will see heavy foot traffic, especially during the winter.  The colors shown in the picture are relatively accurate, bu the image does make the rug look brighter/whiter than it really is.  The light gray/whiteish tones are a bit darker, and while that wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.  I have decided not to return it, though, because I think it will hide the dirt and debris better, but I probably would not have selected it had I know how much darker the pattern would be.
