Nice rug.  The actual rug has much more ivory than is pictured which makes the rug much lighter than what I expected.  I actually like it better because it brightens my room.  I do not feel that the ivory is a problem because of the splashes of brown and gray.  I settled on this rug because many reviews of other rugs with gray stated that the grays were in the blue family.  This rug has no blue undertones.  The only reason that I am giving it a 4 is because it is pretty thin.
