Good rug - does need upkeeping with sweeping as it sheds and leaves dirt on the hardwood but that was expected with this type of material. I can see how some have different thoughts on the color. When it is in sunlight, it does have a more "Silver" tone to it...where as it looks more warm/natural like a "green-grey" when there's not much natural light and the room is lit by the indoor lighting. So if you are using it in a room with a lot of natural light, it will appear more of a cool grey during the daytime.
