It's been so difficult to find a true silver/gray rug.  This is it.  No hint of blue or green.  Very elegant.  It is silver from one angle, and charcoal from the opposite side, so it can be either light or dark depending on the direction it lays.  I love it. And a fantastic price for a quality rug from a quality manufacturer.  Nice soft sheen gives it an upscale look. It does have an odor initially so plan on airing it out prior to placement.
