I was hoping the darker color that some complained about was the true color, because I wanted a dark one, would have picked black if there was one.  It's a dark bronze-y gray, if that's such a thing.  Goes well with black (i.e. Night stand legs) or bronze (i.e. Picture frames) so it's a good blend.  I went with this pattern when the one i wanted was perpetually out of stock, but do like the good clean lines, but not to angular.
