As far as the "Light Gray" color, as others have mentioned, this rug has no gray in it although it oddly does read gray when you photograph it up close (see my images as well as Wayfair's). but do not let that fool you into thinking this is a gray or ivory rug--it is not. It is clearly green with some light blue.  When you first look at it, you would say it is a green rug.  It has some very very light yellow/beige that would make rug work with beige, not so much gray.  Again, if you are looking for something gray, this is not for you.  As far as the rug, it is somewhat stiff as typical for this type of material.  The 2.6x4 has a border on the 2 ends which I like.  The edges are inconsistent and frayed in one area, however and I would NOT use this in a high traffic area.
