Love this rug! Bought it by accident and have been happy ever since.  Looks way better in person.  More of a light beige to pale white tone.  Basically looks exactly like the photo.  Just remember... "MONA Dee NOCK!"  is one of the cleanest and tightly woven upscale rugs I've come across.  Very good quality, Fast delivery, overall great product!  Very neutral AND natural.  No smell (and I bought 3 other rugs of the same model for other areas of my home) and they'yre great.  Best on wood floors.  Not over carpet.  You wont be sorry!
