As always, it's difficult to judge just how a rug will really look from photos alone - especially the case here, as the color seems almost anisotropic in-person. Right after unrolling, this rug will appear almost entirely silver, but after a few days of foot traffic should be sufficiently mussed to give it a nice dark-and-silver appearance. Fibers are a wide variety of thicknesses, perhaps the only downside is some dark thick ones which stick out when an area is mostly silver. The upside is that the variety feels great underfoot.
