The colors are true to the images shown. The rug is soft and bright.

It is cute and works well for the space. I purchased it for the dog area, and it has so far been solid. They can't chew it up easily as they did with a jute or wool rug, and it is easily washable. Nothing blew my mind but it is definitely serving its purpose well.

I am a bit of a rug snob. I was not sure I would like the look of these in the kitchen of a historic home. They look nice. Their washability is just TERRIFIC.
