The gold in the rug has a bit of green hue to it, but it will work in front of our bathroom vanity. It is thin, which is what we wanted, we need a bit of color pop to our gray walls and dark gray vanity. Wish it was more true gold or yellow color, but will not send back, the price was to good.  We will just use gray shower and bath rugs since it is not really a golden or yellow color.
