Really pretty rug. Soft, short pile and kind of a rough backing so if you get a smaller rug you may want to put a non-slip pad underneath. The lighter colors in this rug are beige and ivory. I think the darker color is more of a taupe with black specs in it. There is NO gray. It has a lot of blue and light green that you can't see in the picture. I will be moving this rug to my bedroom and buying a new one because of this. Overall I love the rug just disappointed that the colors are off.
