I had seen another review 
 about the gray color of this rug 
 reading more brown than gray. 
 I agree that the gray is more of 
 a taupe-gray. I shied away from 
 other gray rugs I had seen 
 because I did not want a blue 
 gray. The brown tones of this 
 rug work for my space but they 
 would not work if you are 
 looking for a true gray. The 
 background is more beige than 
 white. I would have preferred a 
 whiter background for more 
 contrast. That being sid, the 
 silkiness of the fibers are 
 wonderful on your feet and this 
 rug was purchased for a 
 bedroom. I had to change the 
 color of paint from a gray to a 
 taupe to work with this but the 
 rug itself is lovely. I would 
 recommend it for the feel of it. 
 Because of the silky fibers the 
 gray color does change with the 
 light which makes it appear 
 even lighter and less of a 
 contrast. Overall - a great 
 looking statement in the room.
