I was concerned about the color (burnt orange or salmon) when I read the reviews. this is a beautiful rug and the colors are perfect for me.  The base color  changes depending on the light in the room or time of day.  To me it is salmon in the daylight and a darker salmon in the night. The burnt orange will pop out with accessories (pillows, blanket, etc.) The colors in this rug seem to blend with whatever you have near it.
