Beautiful, bright ivory with grey intertwined. Looks fresh and soft. It is soft underfoot but isn't particularly plush, you can feel the base of the rug under the soft fibers while standing on it. Maybe not made for an adult over 150# to kneel on. I layered it over another rug since the other rug has gotten flat and lost its fluff. I don't know if this rug would be any better with a rug pad underneath but I may give it a try.
