| At first glance this rug appears to be duotone-- the mustard yellow designs contrast nicely against the navy blue background. However a little closer inspection reveals plenty of interesting accents of pink, blue, red, and green. The floral medallions running down the center intertwine through the field, interlacing with hidden jets, rifles, and helicopters. |
