This rug is lighter than it appears in the picture. and is predominantly cream and beige with accents of green, red and black.  The red is deep, but leans more toward red than burgundy. The diamond shapes are also larger than they appear. The overall quality is comparable to the price.  Although the colors are not exactly what I expected, many colors would work well with this rug, and it looks nice in my family room.  Will not darken a room.
