This rug looks pink OR red depending on what colors it's next to. I absolutely love the color as and pattern of the rug. The only drawback is that this rug is very thin - surprisingly so. I will need to purchase a rug pad for it for sure so it doesn't slide around so much and isn't so painfully thin, with that being said, the pattern and coloring go perfect with my decor so I will forgive the thinness of it!
