I searched everywhere for a rug to replace a smaller one for my living room. If I went by the photo I would have thought this was too bright, but seeing other customer reviews  and their photos, I took a chance.  Colors are perfect for my room! The orange is more of a burnt orange with muted light blue, light yellow and a hint of green. I love that there are no bleached distressed spots on it. My only tiny complaint is that it is a big long for my room, I would have preferred something closer to 9.6' as other rugs are ( I bought the 7.10 x 10.6 ). I also purchased a 1/4" rug pad to add a little comfort as it is thin.  So far, my cat hasn't scratched it either!
