Hello Shirley, We appreciate your feedback about our TrafficMaster Palmdale II in color Forest Path. Though you were disappointed that the color looked more gray once the flooring was installed than what you were expecting, we are thrilled to know that you are pleased with the thickness. If you ever have questions about your new floors, please contact our Consumer Concierge team at 844-742-7429 or email us at askshaw@shawinc.com. We are available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, Eastern Standard time. As always, thank you for choosing Shaw Floors! ~kj
