The colors are exactly as described. I really thought the photo looked like there was some  purple in the rug, but it is a gray color. It will match perfectly in the room. There were a few creases,  but I turned it upside down on the floor and lay my previous rug ( the one I was replacing) on top of this one to weigh it down for a couple days and now it is fine. I am very happy with the rug and  Wayfair.
