Aubusson
rug colors
Do you know how many colors are used in
an aubusson rug? Yes, it varies from one aubusson rug design to
another. But you will be amazed once you know there would be 30-60
colors in one rug and each color is combined by two similar colors.
So actually the colors reach 60-120!
When you look at an aubusson rug, you can
see that it carries very rich colors. When you look even close, you can
see more shades. Sometimes there are tone on tone colors in the
background. The more colors used, the richer it would look.
For aubusson rug makers, they usually
identify colors from the back of an aubusson rug.:). It reveals
easily how many colors are actually used since aubusson rugs always
leave yarns cut on the back.
Aubusson tapestries have more details and
they carry far more colors of course.:)
