This carpet was perfect for my space! I was doing a lot of research checking out photos and reviews of so many gray rugs because the review photos are always the real deal. I selected this carpet because it looked like it wasnt that blue gray and not the brown gray but a true gray.. and it was! Its absolutely gray and depending on the angle you look at it it looks more white on one side and more charcoal from another. This is not a negative in my opinion. Great quality and really makes my space bright and cozy. I highly recommend.
