It was difficult to find a rug that was 12 feet long AND 3 feet wide !! it looks amazing in my kitchen.  I would say the colours are actually a gorgeous deep rust and a dark gray - my only concern with it at the moment is that it is SHEDDING like crazy - I literally have to vacuum it every day to pick up the wool that is "pilling" off the rug - I sure hope this stops soon - it is a very thick and luxurious rug and looks and feels divine - many positive comments already.  I will update on how long it takes to stop shedding.
