This rug is subtle with rich color variation.  Reads cream and grey with hints of aqua. The Grey is a warm neutral - it works well with both warm and cool colors. It made my room feel much lighter and paired well with a natural amber toned leather sofa and chrome coffee table.  It is low profile, so if you want a plusher feel make sure to use a rug pad underneath.  Giving 4 stars because it was shipped folded versus rolled which left if with deep creases.  Over a month later, still waiting or some of the creases to relax.
