It always feels like a gamble ordering a rug online for the color but this one works perfectly for me. I have a sage accent wall (Clary Sage from SW) and this rug matches great. I wanted something with hints of the color rather than a more prominent color that would show slight color difference. I like that there is a little bit of a complimentary blue ad well. It does shed quite a bit so it needs to be vacuumed a few times to reduce that.
