This rug is gorgeous in person! The "silver" rug has various shades of light gray and beige/tan. It's pretty thin, but with a rug pad, it's nice and plush. It's incredibly soft, and works so well in our living room. I was worried about getting a light-colored rug with a toddler in the house, but we've already had a red juice explosion (which made me want to cry when I saw it all over the rug), and it blotted out easily and did not stain. I am so happy I finally bought this rug!
