The colors in this rug lean towards blue and not gray, but it works perfectly for my spot.  I love the way it feels under foot.  It appears to be well made and has a thick soft pile.  The pattern is constistant along with the colors throughout the rug.  The gold reads has off white to cream.  Its not in your face gold.  This is a great purchase that I'm sure I'll be happy with for years to come.
