I needed a carpet runner that had a lot of dark gray, but also some splashes of color. This design fits the bill very well. The gray, orangeyellow, green, and turquoise colors strike a great balance between being muted and bright. Theres actually another color that I did not pick up on before seeing it in person. Mixed with the black lines that outline the different borders, there is a dark blue or indigo color. This is not something that is immediately noticeable, even in person. But when you examine it closely, you can see this added color. This was a nice surprise and I think it adds more dimension to the design as a whole.
