The picture below is the rug in natural light. In natural light you can see it is grey. But in any other light it becomes a beige/brown instead of a grey. Just so you are aware that the lighting in the location will matter on whether this appears grey or beige/brown. My flooring is grey in the picture in the natural light and appears a bit more brown in artificial light. This rug does look different than I expected but it still fits in. It's a thinner rug. But suites my needs perfectly. 4 stars just because the color does depend on the lighting conditions. Other than that I love it. :o)
