This thing is not a real rug. Its like a piece of fabric with a cheap print of a rug on it. No there is no pile to speak of because its not a real rug. Its just the impression of a rug. The colors are true to the website pictures. Its white and gray with some dark, muted blues. If you want a fake rug, this one is for you. The only positive is that it lies flat right out of the package.
