Looks pretty much as pictured, I have med/dark stained hardwood floors, so this rug brightens the room. Colours are true, cream, greys, blues and gold, soft low pile, unfortunately there was a small tear in the rug, probably caused by the delivery person, which thankfully doesn't show through the surface, I decided to keep it because returns are a pain, 
this rug is average quality, looks nice, the price was very good and overall I am satisfied
