Description of Colors

The rug's color palette is rich and earthy, derived from natural, plant-based dyes. The dominant colors are:

Vibrant Red: A deep, bold red that serves as the primary field color. It is likely a madder red, derived from the roots of the madder plant.

Earthy Brown & Tan: These shades form the main medallion and border patterns, providing a warm, neutral base. These colors would typically come from plant sources like walnut hulls.

Deep Black: A dark, striking black used for the border and outlining the patterns, adding contrast and definition. This is often created from iron salts or other natural sources.

Ochre Yellow: A bright, sunny yellow seen in the accent details, which adds warmth and light to the design. This color is often made from weld or pomegranate skins.

Accents of Blue, Pink, and Orange: Smaller details in the floral motifs include shades of light blue, soft pink, and bright orange, providing pops of color that highlight the intricate design. See less
