It looks exactly like the photo.  Beautiful true colours.  Really pleased with the quality of this piece.  The wood is 1" thick so it sits nice and close to the wall.   It is also extremely light so can hang safely with just a nail.  Without the frame on a white wall I could easily have gone up a size which would have made a better statement or I'd recommend to get it with some sort of frame to make it pop better if you plan to put it on a white wall.
