Other reviewers have mentioned the actual color is a light lavender--absolutely true.  In a particular light, I suppose it could be construed as gray, but do not expect a conventional gray in any light.

The color just happened to work perfectly with the room it's in, it's not a high pile--maybe a quarter- to a half inch thick, and a perfect size to go underneath a queen size bed with extra room all the way around.

Nice, casual, area rug for the price, they just need to advertise the color differently.

Pros: nice, casual rug for the price
Cons: color not as advertised
