This is a great rug for anyone looking for subdued pattern and variation of colors that don't immediately grab the eye.  It will complement lighter colored furniture, like off white,  and offer a great contrast with neutrals.  But the subtle tones of blue, denim, olive and mustard can become the accents depending on the color used for main pieces of furniture in the room.  I plan on an off-white couch and curtains and already have the mid-range denim blue for 2 accent chairs.  This rug will stay clean in higher traffic areas and I did buy a 1/4" pad for underneath.
