We love the quality of this rug, but it is definitely not red. Rather a grey/burnt orange and ivory. It is also very faded looking (although I also bought the door mat size ones and they are more vibrant. I was a little dissapointed because it is not as bright as I hoped it would be according to the description, but I sort of expected it based on the photo on the website, which did look a little faded. NICE quality though! And so nice to come from Turkey rather than China.
