I purchased this rug for my living area. I was worried that it would not be dark enough in color, but I ordered it anyway, and I'm glad I did. The color is an deep eggplant color and the trellis pattern is a tan/cream/ivory color. I love the way it feels on my feet, soft, and has some cushion to it. I've got a similar rug in navy blue that I did not order from Wayfair and while it's a nice rug that I like, it doesn't feel as good. This is a great buy. I'm happy with my purchase. The 7x10 was affordable. I wanted the 8x10 but the price was just too much. Good luck!
