I first bought the small throw to see if I liked it in order to avoid the hassle of returning a large 8x10. The colors were perfect, lots of warm muted colors, and and I loved the design so I ordered the 8x10. While the larger rug is beautiful, the colors are not the same as the throw and the design is a little different. I really don't know why it is categorized as an "ivory/brown" when it should be called a multi-colored. There is a lot of bright red and teal in this rug with some coral, gold and ivory and very little brown. I still gave it 5 stars because it is a beautiful well made rug and looks great in my dining room. If you are looking for a rug that will give your room a pop of color, this is it.
