This is a high quality, thick pile rug. The background color is fairly close to what is pictured with maybe a slightly greener tint. It is basically neutral, but because my house has a lot of variants of green colors, that little bit of green tint was just enough to make it not match. So I sadly have to return it. The light blue color in the peacock feather is a robin's egg blue, the green is a fairly primary dark green. They stand out against the background, which could be good but also could be a challenge. It would be tricky to match this rug with other than a neutral wall color because of that. But if you can do it (or get the rug and then decide on a wall color) it is a nice rug! What is quite aggravating is that the cost to return it is $**! Had I known that when I ordered, I never would have taken the chance of ordering a rug like this without having the chance to have seen it first. I wish Overstock would give you the opportunity to better understand returning shipping implications- makes me not want to take a chance an order again.

I purchased this rug about 3 weeks ago. Arrived approx. 9 days later. It was well wrapped for the cross-country transit. It is a wonderful quality, thick wool carpet. Colors are vibrant but not overpowering. The basic rug color is more beige than grey (as depicted in the O'stock photo). No matter it gives a terrific contrast & blends well against my Pecan floor and grey stone fireplace. This is a quality rug and the money was well-spent on its purchase. It should provide many, many useful years of service. It doesn't shed and it has no smell. I recommend this rug enthusiastically.

OK, enough with the complicated color descriptions. I had the hardest time figuring out what the color of this rug is with the product description and everyone's comments. I'd say it's chartreuse. Really though, it's going to depend on your lighting and paint in the room. Both will influence the shade and could bring out good and/or not so good attributes in the rug's color. I wanted it to be olive green, but it isn't and it looked absolutely terrible in my living room because I have terra cotta walls. Can you see it? Terra cotta walls and a chartreuse rug? Good night, it was my worst decorating nightmare. Now, my comments on color have nothing to do with the quality of the area rug. It is well-made, well-designed and simply beautiful. I moved it to my office (I am an editor and writer who works full-time from home), and it is absolutely perfect. I have a white desk, a beautiful wood mantel with an electric fireplace, an olive green velvet arm chair and two peacock Tiffany lamps. I can't say it enough, the room is stunning and that's due in large part because of the area rug. (P.S. I highly recommend checking out the peacock Tiffany table lamp on Overstock's website ... it's unusual and SPECTACULAR. I would especially look it up and consider it, if you are thinking about buying a peacock feather area rug. ;) I used a different peacock area rug from Overstock in my living room, it's beige with huge olive green peacock feathers on it, and it's gorgeous. I didn't even have to repaint, the terra cotta walls look fantastic with the mostly beige rug and it all pulls together well with my lovely curtains. One thing about the chartreuse rug: Have a good vacuum. There's a page you'll receive with the rug and it talks about shedding and how it is normal for a new wool rug. Trust me, this baby sheds. It isn't terrible, but I do need to vacuum a bit more. This is especially important with more people in the house because the more the rug is used/walked on, the more shedding there is. But it is beautiful, so I don't mind pulling out my vacuum a little more often.

The color was the same except for the light blue in the picture, instead the blue was brown, which was disappointing. However, my husband and I bought blue RIT dye, colored in what was supposed to be the blue layer of the peacock feather, and waalaa! Now, our rug looks just like the picture! Love it. Very hip and modern for our dining room. Great quality, thick pile, wool rug.

I love this rug!!! I'm so happy that I bought it for my dinning room! I just bought a house with dark hardwood floors and I now have a formal dinning area so I just knew that this was the rug to have. I didn't buy a rug pad for it but it doesn't need one. It's thicker and softer than I would have thought for wool. It's heavy so it stays in place. It's true to size but not color. It's not a dark sage as described. It's closer to a lighter sage with a hint of golden in color. The feathers are gorgeous and true to the colors shown. They're dark teal, med brown, sage, and black...so beautiful and the feathers really stand out! I've seen this same rug in catalogs and online and it's runs between $600.00-$800.00 plus shipping which is really expensive! I didn't have a problem with the color not being a true sage since I didn't have anything to match it with yet. I actually like it's true color better, it really makes the feathers pop and brightens up the room. I highly recommend this rug!

I saw this rug online on two high-end websites for $800 and this is the exact same rug, but for a much lower price! It is great quality and the colors are vibrant. It's not really a beige rug, so if that's what you're looking for- you may be disappointed. I'd say it's more of a chartreuse with mustardy undertones. It looks great with a variety of colors, though. I can't say enough about this rug- everyone who has seen it has loved it! I would absolutely recommend this rug to everyone.

Pictured is not quite the right color. Color is mustard, not beige.

The quality of this rug is wonderful. The color, however, is poorly represented by the photograph. Because it appeared beige to me, I bought it. And, when it arrived I was terribly disappointed; the background color was somewhere between mustard and chartreuse and not the least bit beige. As is usually the case, Overstock was terrific about prompt shipping and taking the item back. I hope this review is helpful!

I have had this rug for almost two years and it has not stopped shedding. This rug is just terrible. Also, Overstock has not helped me out with this at all. When I emailed a complaint I just got back a form letter about how to take care of a rug. Thanks, but I already know that. I have followed direction to a T, but my pants all have ugly fibers all over them. BEWARE and DO NOT BUY

I fell in love with this rug online; however, once I received it, the color did not look the same at all. The bigger problem is that it costs over **** to return this item! I would not order this rug again and I am contemplating ordering any large items from Overstock since their policy says that the color might vary and that this is perfectly acceptable. Overstock is willing to work with me some on the cost of the return, but I believe the color is drastically off and that all of the return should be covered.

Beautiful rug purchased 2 yrs ago and has held up perfectly. The background color is deep gold, not sage. Peacock eye is robin's egg blue, black center, surrounded by a deep tan color. Overstock also sold the same rug with a beige background, which did not have any of the colors listed here. Worth every penny for the quality and size. It's a big thick rug.

Very nice rug. It made our livung room look awesome.

Overall, very good product and shipping. It's a heavy rug, and I don't need the non-slip pad. I have it on a dark brown stained concrete floor. I am happy with everything about it except the missing light blue ring in the eye of the feather. That is what is so delightful and beautiful about peacock feathers!

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? I ordered the 8'x10' and it is definitely sage green. Some of the other reviewers said theirs was more yellow. I am happy with the colors, except mine does not have the light blue ring between the center and the rust one. It is just a very blah tan color. I think the blue would make it nicer looking, like in the picture. It's very blah--no pop of color.

Love this rug, love the peacock theme, the spacing of which is abstract adding to the unique feel of the rug. It is thick, does not shed much, and sits flat on my hardwood floor. The colour in the photo is slightly more chartreuse that the product description which called this rug sage green. It's got a little too much yellow in there to be considered sage which is more grayish. That said, it is still in the green family, but not a cool sage green, a little warmer, slightly more yellow in it's overall hue (and I don't mean sunshine yellow just tonally it reaches more toward chartreuse and less toward gray/sage). I love this rug, even though I wanted sage, I kept it anyway because it is so unusual. The loops around the "eye" of the peacock feather are more of a forest green that was apparent in the photo. One other thing to watch is that the tone of the photo of this rug changes depending on the size of the rug you select, yet the written descriptions all say the rug is sage. I just happened to order the rug with a photo that matched the rug that I got (more chartreuse than sage), but had I ordered under a different size, that photo's colour depiction looks more sage and would not have matched the rug that I got. It's only slightly different but if you are particular and need a cool sage, then you'd be looking at the rug and seeing chartreuse not sage. Bear in mind that monitors are all calibrated differently, as are photos/cameras, and our eyes, so as with anything that you buy sight-unseen there is always room for a margin of error in colour perception. I love this rug and am glad I took the chance and bought it.
