Colours are perfect and exactly as shown on the site.    I bought two - 8x10(+-) to fit under a queen bed.  I used the layouts in the item info section to place it so it provides ample walking room around both sides and end, ending at the nightstands.   It complements the laminate floors and gives the space a warm feel.  I did not chose to add the floor pad as a lot of the rug is under the bed.   Pad would add even more cushion, but it works well without it.
