This rug is beautiful, however, it is NOT as it appears in their photo.  I ordered it hoping it had some gray under-tones which it turns out to have.  The background is charcoal, the raised cream fabric (silk) is beige/taupe-ish.  The color of the rug changes every couple hours with the influence of the lighting in your house.  I was sending this back but may keep it now.  Still trying to decide if it works with my table.
