I purchased this product thinking that would be a natural color. Well, it is more yellow than I wanted. I will be spray painting this once we move into our house because I plan on Light Gray walls and this will definitely not work for that. Otherwise, I think it is such a lovely piece. I get many compliments about it. As a word of caution, with something that is split like this, don't space out to much when you hang it, makes it look like there are missing pieces.
