I purchased this rug in the 5' x 8' size for a large living room to compliment other rugs in the room in the same color scheme.  I couldn't be happier, the rug looks lovely in the room.  However, I would say that the colors are taupe/gray & ivory (off white), which work perfect for me.  Because it is a dhurrie rug (which are on the thin side) I purchased a cushioned rug pad to go underneath.  

Thanks Wayfair, I feel this was a great rug at a great price & I appreciate receiving it so quickly!
