The colors in this rug are vibrant and match well with most pillowcushion colors. I love that the tan part of the rug is more of a weave pattern which hopefully should help with water evaporation and drainage during heavy rains like we tend to have here in the south. Although I have this rug laid within a covered patio and have purchased a rug mat (which I highly suggest you do but that’s a review for another product), windy rains like the ones we’re having today have soaked the rug in certain spots therefore, I’m reserving a 5 star rating until I can see how well this rug holds up when wet otherwise I’m happy so far.
