I'm in love with this rug! So happy that I bought it! It looks just like in the pictures and the color does vary a bit depending on where you look. I made sure to turn it around a few times to get the exact shade I wanted. 
As others said, it is thin, but I don't mind. If you prefer, buy the rug pad. Color is beige/taupe with dark grey underneath. 
My dogs have already made some stains and they came out easily with a bit of water and Forcefield fabric cleaner. No stains whatsoever after cleaning. 
My rug came folded but it wasn't wrinkled at all and looked almost 100% flat as soon as I put it in place. Looks so good in my office, I will buy another one for my dining room which is right in front of it... unfortunately the size I need is out of stock now.  This rug looks expensive and very elegant for the price. Recommend!
