Antique Qashqai rugs will typically feature dark reds, saffron golds, and rich blues. These jewel tone rug colors were available to the ancient tribes with vegetable-based dyes, and today they are still often incorporated into the design despite the availability of a wider range of dyes.<ref> Nazmiyal antique rugs, 2019</ref> <br>
The field coloration used by the Qashqai tribe is reds, ivory, blues, and greens. In addition, different shades of brown, cinnamon, and gold are used for the borders, medallion, corners, flower heads, and design elements. Dark brown or black is utilized for the design outlines.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.461</ref><br>
