Love the colour. Rich deep gray. Works so well in the space. The texture of the knit pattern is subtle yet just what I was looking for. Very soft too. I would give it 5 stars however if you have pets I wouldn't recommend it. Within hours of it being on my bed, my cat had pulls in it. So now it is folded over a chair, never to be used on my bed. Wonderful throw, just not pet/claw friendly.
