I purchased this rug to go in a powder room next to the sink. I wanted a thick rug for sound absorption and to coordination with some other wool rugs I had nearby. It is a very dark brown and blended well with the brown cabinets and tan tile floors in the room. It gives a nice plush feel when in the room but does not take away from the other decor. The colors are quite muted. It has some green accents but they are muted so could also pass for blue. The boarder is not a bright off white as in the picture but more tan or camel colored.
