I was not expecting the speckled look of the medium blue hue of the rug. Though, I can see it in the online picture now that I've seen it in person. It has grown on me and I'm fine with it now. The gray color looked more like olive green to me at first but I think that is related to the lighting in my room and the angle I view it at. It ties the blue, gray, and white hues of my walls and furniture together very well. I did not want an area rug in my carpeted living room until I started looking at blue and gray rugs. I think changing my mind on rugs worked out well.

Cons: Gray looks greenish in some lighting or at some angles
