Have you ordered anything yet? If not, where had you seen samples of this? Lowe's or a similar big box store by chance? They have the sample boards with all of the color samples on the other side that are VERY small indeed which are VERY difficult to tell individual colors from those samples. And even with them being so small they are right next to the other colors so it's hard to tell what 'yours' looks like. And Roof35 is so right that even if someone else had the color you are asking about, you need to see it in YOUR space with what you have. I've had Mohawk Intelligent Style for several years now and it is great. So soft and easy to clean and Iove the subtle tone on tone colors within the fibers. Different times of day the subtle colors come out and looks different from the amount of natural light coming in, which is just what I wanted. I just love it! If you go to a flooring speciality store that carries the Mohawk SmartStrand, they will have an entire selection of these larger samples (aprox 15" x 20"-24" or so) in all one big color sample. They will likely have this larger sample of the color you are interested in right on hand. You can even take home several that are similar to compare. Leave them in a spot for a few days ideally so you can see how the different lighting looks with everything. That should help you immensely! And by the way, if they are short on any of the Intelligent Style color samples for any reason, there are two or three others styles that come in identical colors but are different weights (and thicknesses / ounces) and are called different style names. The place I got mine from did not have all the colors I was considering and I got some of the shorter pile (and less expensive) ones at first just for color and then they ordered that color sample in the Intelligent Style so I could see the right color and I ordered from that. It just took a few days. I know I would have made a mistake in the color if I had not done this step. Oh, and the big box store when I asked about ordering a larger sample or even a foot or one yard, said they could not do that. The flooring store does that all the time and is standard practice. I also used the flooring store for the installation too and had a much better job than a previous bad experience with the big box store farmed out installers. It is really a grab bag and you never know what you're going to get. YMMV Hope this helps you get the sample you need. Let us know your progress!

We've decided to buy Mohawk SmartStrand Fashion Knowledge for our basement (stairs, rec room, office, hall). Our retailer recommends the Italian Suede colour. I like it. I was also considering the Rock Wall colour. If anyone has seen them installed, comments would be welcome. Any unwelcome undertones? We haven't picked wall paint shades yet, but something neutral with white-ish baseboards. There's little natural light in our basement. Thanks!

I've said it before on here, I have yet to find a carpet that gets the same customer satisfaction as SmartStrand. One of the reasons I think people with pets and kids love it so much is that is super easy to clean. The way the carpet is engineered all you have to do is use hot water to clean up stains. You will not find a softer carpet on the market! Btw, from my experience, thats a pretty fair price per square yard. I don't think you are going to find a better price for that style of carpet

Oh good Lord! As if I wasn't already torn between the Tuftex and the Mohawk SmartStrand carpet. After reading these earlier comments I am really baffled! Originally I started my search for carpet by looking at nylon only since I heard that it is much better than polyester for wear and tear. But I happened into another carpet store today that carries both Karastan (Mohawk) and Shaw and the sales person seemed to push me towards the SmartStrand carpet. She wanted to show me the Karastan carpet that has been underfoot in their store for the last 10 years. She proceeded to push a heavy display fixture out of the way so that I could see how the carpet sprung back. It was amazing! Plus she pointed out that the SmartStrand's stain protection never washes out, while the Shaw Stainmaster protection washes out after 3 professional carpet cleanings. I am so confused on which way to go. And I need to make a decision quickly since I will be moving into my new home soon. The former owner left me with a surprising welcome gift---183 square yards of dog-urine stained carpeting. It was so filthy that I gagged several times while pulling it up and dragging it out to the garage. So I will be replacing all of that filthy floor covering with new carpet and my head is spinning as to which choice to make. Although my head could still be spinning from inhaling the very strong shellac that I had to use to "seal" any dog urine odors from making their way up from the sub floor. UGH!
