I like the blends of purple & light purple/pinkish colors in the rug! It's perfect for the various shades of purple in my master bedroom. It's a thin rug, so I do recommend a rug pad underneath. The patterns helps disguise dog hair well, if anyone else is concerned about that!! Haha! I've had it for a year now & has held up well to frequent vacuuming (for the aforementioned dog hair!)!
