The pictures of the rug look nothing like the actual rug. In the pictures, the rug is a very light beige/almost white and the design is a light grey. When it arrived, I was dismayed at what I actually got. While the rug is a beautiful design, the colors are more of a dark beige and very dark gray design lines. I was looking for a subtle rug to accent my sitting area, and this will not do. I'm disappointed, because I really like the design.
