The colors are a little deeper than what appears on line, which I was expecting, so I'm very pleased. It is a repeating pattern of greens, blue-grays, and browns (smallest of the repeats). I purchased the 9 x 12 so pattern repeats a couple of times, giving you all the colors. I suspect with a smaller rug, depending on where the cut starts in the pattern that you may not get all the repeats, or maybe only one set, thus giving you more greens, or blue and grays, and that's why the reviews give such varying descriptions. My furniture is neutral (darker gray fabric and lighter gray leather that is not seen the pic) so I was not trying to match exact colors. Bottom line, this is a very nice, non-traditionally patterned rug, that is thick and luxurious and I would purchase it again!
