I knew this rug would be exactly like the one they sell at *** . It is a beautiful color with plenty of movement. It sheds a tiny bit, but then stops. Some have posted it is blue others green. I believe it all depends on the tones in your room. I have it against green and it is greenish grey. I would imagine if you have blue in your room and are expecting a dark grey you would see alot of blue. For the price, it is one of my best rug purchases yet.
