I was really nervous to purchase this rug because I thought it would be too colorful. It's definitely colorful, but in an understated way. It has a modern lodge type feeling to me. It's thin but soft enough. Won't show any stains, which was a priority for me with 3 kids and a dog. Colors include red, magenta, orange, gold, army green, gray, dark brown, navy, teal, oatmeal and more. They blend to create different color effects.
