I read the reviews of this rug before ordering and decided to purchase, in part, based on comments about the color being more taupe or beige than grey. I would call it grey-brown. The darker yarn is definitely grey-brown (think tree bark; matches my brown Waterhog mat) while the lighter yarn is light grey. Both yarns have a silvery sheen, which I'm not crazy about but it's not a deal-breaker. The rug is, as others have said, very plush and cozy. Very good quality and a good value for this type of rug (I've looked at many). Hope the photos help show color.

I had an unusual issue when it first arrived  and called Joss and Main. They are sending a new rug and told me to keep the other or donate it. Their excellent customer service bumped this review to 5 stars for overall experience.
