The colors are perfect for our dining room that has an unusual bluish-green paint.  The browns and grays show up more in pictures than in real life where the sage green is slightly more noticeable.  The fact that this rug can blend in and also hide potential stains makes it a beautiful addition.  I like the fact that if needed, I can wash out spots.  And I feel it is helping use the surplus of disposable plastics saving some from the landfills.
