We had a neutral shag in our den for years - it was a very high-pile deal from crate and barrel that looked like a giant bathmat. Then we got a new dog... all I will say is that it didn't end well.

Now we have an oriental rug that is oddly neutral too, in spite of being brown and tan and light blue and several other colors. Something about them fades into the background, perhaps because they are so classic. Maybe try a neutral-toned (i.e., mostly beige) one?

I also LOVE flor - and several of their patterns have an overall neutral tone, but when you look closely there are threads of bright colors that you can pick up in other accessories in the room.
