At first I was hesitant because I wasn't sure what the color of the "silver" was going to look like. The "silver" is a light gray and has a hint of blue/cool tones. However, I love the color and the quality is outstanding. The rug has a luxurious look to it and it was a steal online. I am very impressed and I even made sure to get the 5-year protection plan (just in case) because I love the rug that much!
