It is exactly what I was looking for. I just painted the pool table room navy blue and needed some personality. The rest of my house is rather neutral, so I wanted something with pizzaz but not too over the top. The tan color is is very neutral tan, not yellow or pink at all. The black “spots” are more of a subtle dark charcoal as opposed to dark black. The pile feels luxurious underfoot ( I do have a 14” rug pad underneath). It does shed a little but I think that’s normal with a new rug.
