Like a lot of these rugs, the color is a bit more faded than the pictures show, but we were counting on that and it works perfect in our space. Rather than a deep pink it's a blush with some darker areas throughout. The black looking areas are a deep navy blue. It's a beautiful rug, true to size. Not the thickest, but it's not advertised as such, and for a medium pile rug it's pretty soft, and feels comfortable to stand on barefoot. Definitely get a high quality non slip rug pad for underneath.
