I was afraid this carpet might have too much pink in it, but there was more of a rose color.  We put the rug two different ways, and ended up putting the orange-yellow color close to the fireplace, rather than in the walking area.  It's a nice carpet, probably not the best, but we wanted some color without the oriental look.  It laid down very nicely, but we are getting a 1/4 inch pad to go under it to give it a bit more cushion.  We ordered the 10 by 14 and it makes our living room look larger.  I really like it.
