just the right mix of greys, whites and beiges to look at home in our grey, white, and wooden floored living room. My husband originally thought it looked stained and streaky, when we took it out of the package, but the variability has really grown on us and we expect be very forgiving of future stains. We purchased the wayfair foam rug, and find the 2 paired together to be soft (& softness is important in our house). Also, our cat loves it. Corners laid flat after 1 night under book weights.
