Rug is very soft.  Colors are perfect a mixture of light and dark grays, mixed in with some white but the different grays really stand out.  I like that it is an outdoor rug and I am using it indoors but can take it outside to clean off when needed.  I purchased and area rug and two runners for my high traffic areas.  The colors go very well with a blue and gray motif rug I purchased from wayfair.
