The picture shown makes the colours of this lamp look a lot lighter than they actually are.  When my lamp arrived I was shocked at just how much darker the colours in this lamp were.  I really wasn't sure if I was going to keep this lamp.  I took it out of the box and placed it in the intended spot that I had purchased it for.  Because my living room walls are painted green and the lamp being so much darker in the shades of colour that I anticipated it turned out that this lamp worked out beautifully! 
If you are considering this lamp I will say that this lamp has a richly presence about it and the size is fabulous for a stand alone lamp.
