The rugs look better in person than online. The colors are a true light blue/denim blue and the brown is not gold at all. Have 12 x18 room size and 5 runners to match. I LOVE them all. Heavy, well made, and cant beat the $. Have searched all over for real wool and no one beats Overstock's prices. The only downside is they do shed a ton. Hope it stops after a few months of vacuums, as other buyers have said. Either way, Ill not send it back because its truly beautiful.
