The first one is a smaller rug. In the picture its hard to tell, but its a real dark brown color. Annie seems to like it.






The second one is much bigger, and multi colored. Again, browns and greens though.

Have you considered either a darker colored floor, or a floor with some thermal mass to it? Like wood or stone... Or even stove brick, might look pretty neat on the floor. What about a cobble stone floor? (Bricks) I'm thinking about a cobblestone floor for the area closest to the windows in my house, since there are only windows on the south face of it.
