The rug is dark gray but nothing exciting about it.  Thought it would nice in my kitchen which is different shades of gray with other accent colors.  But does not add to it.  Otherwise rug is fine and when I get another one that fits the design I'm looking for I will put this in a bedroom that has twin beds inbetween the beds.  Worth the money and I did not have trouble with it not laying flat or wrinkles staying in.  Just left it flat for a day after bissel  use.
