We ordered this rug in the 8’ round for our baby girl’s nursery and it goes perfectly with her lavender-themed decor. The rug is light enough that we can match different shades of purple. As posted in other reviews, the cream does appear to be more grey. Our walls are grey, so that was a motivation for me to order this particular rug. Although, you could get away with cream or white walls as well. The grey is very light. Would definitely purchase again.
