The rugs are nice--thick pile, pretty designs.  The ground color looked ivory to me on the monitor, but is actually a grey or perhaps taupe ("greige").  The border just happens to perfectly match my wall-to-wall carpeting beneath, so it's a good choice for my needs.  Hint:  don't try to anchor the corners to bare floor with double-sided tape.  When you pull the rugs up, it tears the backing of the rug.  I just put heavy items on the corners at night until they lay flat on their own.
