Colors
1. Dominant Background Color: Off-White / Cream

Appearance: The primary field of the rug is a light, almost bone-white or cream color. It's not a stark, bright white, suggesting either natural, undyed wool or a very subtle dye that has softened over time.

2. Main Accent Color 1: Terracotta / Muted Orange-Red

Appearance: A warm, earthy reddish-orange tone, often described as terracotta or a muted rust. It's not a vibrant, fiery red but rather a more subdued, brick-like hue.

Symbolism (general for Anatolian rugs): Red, in various shades, is a very significant color in Turkish textiles. It often symbolizes fertility, good fortune, vitality, and passion. Historically, madder root was a primary source for reds.

3. Main Accent Color 2: Muted Blue / Sky Blue

Appearance: A soft, desaturated blue, almost a sky blue or light denim shade. It complements the terracotta without being overpowering.

Symbolism (general for Anatolian rugs): Blue is commonly associated with the sky, water, and can symbolize hope, peace, truth, and protection against the evil eye. Indigo was a key historical source for blue dyes.

4. Secondary Accent Color: Beige / Pale Gold

Appearance: A warm, light beige or pale golden-tan color.

5. Minor Accent Colors / Outline:

Appearance: You can discern very thin lines or small dots in darker tones, possibly a muted gray or even a very deep, almost blackish-brown.

Overall Color Impression:
The combination of these colors creates a soft, inviting, and somewhat faded "vintage" aesthetic. The palette is balanced and harmonious, avoiding any harsh contrasts. This makes the rug versatile for various interior design styles, from traditional to bohemian to more contemporary settings seeking a touch of warmth and history. The muted nature of the colors suggests either age (as dyes mellow) or a deliberate choice of softer natural dyes, which is characteristic of many older Anatolian pieces. See less
