This rug is absolutely beautiful!  The background color is plum.  My only concern is that it dents easily.  I would suggest putting your furniture exactly where you plan to position it so avoid any additional imprints from furniture legs.  The quality is good and feels luxurious.  We purchased a feltlike non-skid padding for underneath with a rubber type underside that faces our vinyl plank flooring to prevent any carpet shifting.  As far as looks and quality, I am very happy.
