These are nice. The color is a medium gray that goes well with my decor. I also like the diamond pattern... gives it just enough visual interest to keep it a little more modern than others I've seen. They've made going up and down the stairs safer for my not-so-graceful pup. My only complaint is that I wish they e're a little heavier to stay in place better... They end up a bit cattywampus after walking on them. But, they're easy enough to straighten and I really hated the idea of anything sticky on my new floors so I'm very satisfied.
