Coloration is not at all las pictured. It has dark black swirls throughout. I was very disappointed with the rug. It also looks cheap.

I purchased the runner and a 4x6 rug (intended for both to go in my entry way which has a bit of an odd layout). The quality is what I expected but the colors in the two rugs were quite different (a yellow undertone in the runner) such that they looked awful side-by-side.
