Can't really tell what color this rug is--but it's beautiful. In different lighting, it could be beige or grey, and definitely has a sheen to it. It's very soft. I bought a small size to try out first before purchasing and having to return a large rug that didn't work out. We ended up buying a different large rug for the room, but kept this small one because we loved it so much.  

Pros: very soft, beautiful color
Cons: tricky to vacuum
