I kept going back and forth between this carpet and another one. This carpet only had 5 reviews at the time but they were all 5 stars. I needed something that would go well with our neutral color scheme. I was worried as one reviewer mentioned black specks in the carpet. In my opinion it is dark gray. Overall the carpet is a perfect neutral. It goes perfect with our off white/beige tones. I absolutely love it. It was slightly wrinkled but we followed the directions and laid it upside down for a few hours, folded it back up in the opposite direction for a little while and vacuumed it. It lays perfectly, no folds. I highly recommend!
