Lovely rug. The colors to me, are as described. As the other reviewers have said, there is more gray, but the colors are soft. The cream ranges from ivory to cream. It will disguise any small stains, which is great in a house with two dogs and kids, I need that! There was an issue with smell, but Wayfair customer service was amazing and assisted with solving my issue. Great customer service. That's why I keep shopping here.
