This is a gorgeous rug and looks very much like the photos in the item listing in color. In my photos though you can't see the pinker tones, but they are there in person. Very soft. It is, however, very delicate to clean. I spot cleaned it after something small dropped onto it that I cleaned off immediately, (it had left a stiff spot on the soft touch) and it left a lightened spot. Would easily give it five stars if it were more durable.
