I bought three sizes of this rug. I read several reviews regarding color and found color to be a warm gray that can go taupe in different lights.  Very pretty rugs!   Also the rugs are very plush and comfortable to walk on.   Beware if you have low clearance under doors because this style has a very high profile and may not work with some low doors. Like most purchased rugs, measurements were a bit smaller then listed but may relax as rugs acclimate to room.   Very happy with my purchases!
