The colors in my rug are brighter than the picture shows.  The quality seems to be good.  I noticed that some reviewers saw gray in the background .  My rug definitely doesn't have gray in it.  The background is a dark beige/light tan with gold and moss green leaves swirling through it.  The other colors are red, rust, orange, several shades of teal, black, dark brown, white and a little dark green.  I love it with the exception of the medallion in the upper right hand corner, which doesn't look at all like the picture.  It's very bold and not whimsical like the rest of the medallions.  However, I'm glad I bought it and it is perfect for the colors in my dining room.
