I ordered the gray color and it took me a little to adjust to the color - it was more silver than I thought it would be. If you run your hands through it one way, it looks silvery-white, and if you run your hand the opposite way, it looks more gray. When you walk on it, it becomes a beautiful texture of silver/gray. It is very soft and looks elegant. I've had no problems with shedding. I'm very glad I purchased it.
