This rug is DEFINITELY blue-gray leaning towards the blue, but that is what I wanted so I'm pleased. Very soft, love walking on it ... the dimensions seem a bit smaller than what is stated, but it looks really nice and actually *brightens* up my office/closet! Gradient is nice and not "stripey" like so many ombre rugs. We will see how it holds up over time but for the price, it's really worth it.
