The rug is beautiful and so soft. While there are flecks of yellow, it is not yellow as advertised in the name of the product. Think a cream background (that still looks good on beige carpet and with white furniture), with subdued pastels (mauve pink, light blue/grey, even some light green). This is our 4th cloudpile rug and you will love how plush it is underfoot. Pleased with the price (got it on sale) considering it is a rifle paper collab and the other rifle paper cloudpile rugs are much more expensive.
