This is even prettier in person. It is shades of medium grey to light silver and changes a bit when seen from different directions.  There is minuscule amounts of black.  In my opinion it needs a rug pad for softness as it is a shot but thick pile rug. Just be sure to try out your vacuum cleaner on high clearance to start - the beater head may leave unacceptable stripes in the pile  - so you might need to not use the beater head.  The packaging was not the best by the time it got to me, it was open on one end, but it was undamaged. It was however creased in multiple places from a poor roll job (appeared folded vs rolled) which I’m hoping will flatten out soon.  There was a little out gassing smell as with all new carpets, but it dissipated overnight. 
It greatly brightens up my room. I would recommend.
