I purchased the gray and it is a very pretty rug but does have a slight sheen to it that gives it a silver/blue hue to it. Regardless, I still like it. However, my complaint is that the threading on the underneath side is red and black. I had two places where red threads popped through and very much stand out against the gray/silver color of the rug. I had another place where black came through. Luckily those spots are under the couch but I would have sent it back if not. Also, I wish some type of scotch guard protection was offered to be put on it before purchase. For $200, it's a nice rug, but inspect it closely before you decide to keep it for your space!
