The color of the rug I received appears to be sort of a medium-dark grey mixed with subtle forest green tones. It's interesting, and I still like it, but it is not at all what I was expecting, in terms of color.  I would not say that there's any brown in the rug's color at all. It's not super thick/padded, but it is quite soft. The initial "new rug" odor was very mild and dissipated quickly. It's very nice for the price, if you have some flexibility in your colors.

Pros: Soft
Cons: color not true to picture
