I purchased the 9'x12' area rug and the 2'7"x10' runner for my dinning room.  These are thin rugs, but I like it that way because I didn't want too much of a height difference between the rug and floor.  The colors are just like what is shown on-line.  There is a difference in pattern between the area rug and runner, but that's a given.  The area rug pattern is enlarged while the runner's pattern is shrunken down to fit it's size.  I've had these rugs for over a month now and like how it looks.  I also like the fact that unlike wool rugs, these rugs do not fuzz all over the place.
