The colors are darker than what was pictured but it would still have worked in my space and was thin enough to clear my door which was a plus. The patterns is very attractive too. Unfortunately, the strong chemical smells that were present when I unraveled it did not dissipate much after a week of airing out; this is a deal breaker since the rug was for my bedroom. Disappointed to read that I may have to pay return shipping for a large, unusable rug; will call Wayfair to discuss.
