Bought this rug for my daughter’s room. The pink is a rich muted pink - more “mauve” than pastel or “Barbie pink” - very nice to see and will not look too juvenile as she grows. The grey/white portion has more grey flecks and gives a nice balance. The texture is low pile but very soft underfoot. I have to say, for the price and size (8x10), I am beyond thrilled with this and think it was a steal!! I am not a woman who likes pink, but I took a chance for my girly girl daughter and this is a truly lovely (and nice quality) rug in person!
