I am so pleased!  I needed a pop of color but I still wanted my main color to be blue.  I love old fashion, rustic, country, however you want to describe it, this rug is perfect.  It has many colors you could pull in for accent colors.  I had choose red and bit of yellow, and yes, they are in the rug.  (as well as greens, orange, and others, not noticeable unless you want them to be)  I did put a rug pad underneath it, I'm glad I did because it is thinner than the typical wool braided rug.  Sometimes I wish I had ordered the larger one, this is a 5X8.  I also ordered the smaller one for in front of my kitchen sink.
