What colour area rug

I need a rug to run from behind my sitting position up to where my speakers are. I wanted to have my hardwood floor visible from the front wall to where I put my feet up. My room gets a ton of natural light, my whole left wall has a window that runs along 2/3 of the wall  and my room is painted eggshell white. Currently I have a shaggy cotton rug that's black and seems to suck in a lot of light

also any ideas what material rug to get? Cotton? Wool? Shag or no shag?

Acoustically my experience is that wool is best, at least medium weight to deliver some absorption. At all costs avoid synthetic rugs which sound harsh

Berber is outstanding for room acoustics!

I have a question ,but it has nothing to do with your OP.
Is it possible to ask a question on AudioGon to a member without interfering in a thread ?
You seemed to know better than me , how it works here.
For example, if l want to ask you a question about , lets say , your DAC .
thanks

Blue is a great color for a rug. This is the one I have in my room that's close to what you describe:https://incrediblerugsanddecor.com/products/surya-mystique-m-5434-area-rug

All the best,

This is strange but there is an ad for rugs , eSaleRugs,  at the bottom of this thread at least on my tablet give them try.  I know they can track your browsing habits but are they reading forum posts now?
