The colors on the rug looks a lot different than they did on add picture. When I rolled out my carpet,  the pattern looked comparible to a newspaper cartoon that was blown up larger until the pixels were no longer as one but separated.  The colors were a lot brighter than shown as well.   I guess I am used to my traditional hand woven kilam patterned wool rug. I am pleased with the pad though.  I will be more hesitant in the future when making online purchases.
