This is a go to faucet for me.  The most recent one I purchased in brushed gold.  It is a bright, modern but soft god.  Not the brown undertone you'll find in a vintage gold finish.  As a designer- the variation in gold finishes that are out there drive me a bit crazy.  The best I can tell you is this is a bright gold with a yellow undertone rather than brown or pink/red. I took away a star only because with this design, the gooseneck is always just a bit loose.  This is not unique to this brand but rather happens most of the time with this type of faucet.  I do get the occasional complaint from customers and I need to explain that it is installed correctly, it's just the way it is designed.
