The rug is amazing in photographs... But!!! It is varying shades of light silvery to dark blue. In all photos, filtered or not, this rug looks grey with ivory. Very pretty and neutral. In real life it is quite blue and ivory. Thankfully, I have Benjamin Moore classic grey walls and very tone on tone, classic decor, so the blue is not a deal breaker.  I tried to post all sorts of photos for you to get a feel for this rug in multiple lighting situations. The room is south facing and often very bright. The bright washes out the rug while northern light brings out the blue. Its not thick but adequate. Soft. Some smell but airs out in about 2 days with windows open intermittently. The creases are not really bad even when first rolled out but the edge requires some weight to lay flat. Hopefully, it relaxes in time. In all a good quality, neutral rug with a traditional feel.
