this rug is a bit more green than the photo but it's really nice and good quality, feels soft to walk on. the red color is pretty vibrant (slightly shiny) in person. Looks great against dark furniture (we have it in a hallway - wooden floors - in between a console table and a mirror with a dark wooden (almost black) thick frame. looks great! would definitely recommend if you have an area that could use a little bit of green and color.
