It is just perfect for the space (an office).  It has a light cream background, the gold flecks that help tie it to the oak floor it is on.  The blues are as pictured, just enough for my decor (the small pictures of the actual thread colours helped).  Came rolled but has flattened perfectly in about a week.  Its a "neutral" style, so adds to the room without overwhelming it; complementary. I didn't want modern but neither did I want traditional, its a nice between.
