I ordered this after shopping at my local big box store.  I found your price better and after seeing the fixture I am glad I ordered from you.  The bowl is not as dark as in the picture.  The rim has a golden hue but the lower area of the bowl is much lighter, almost a cream color with a textured look.  I particularly like that I will be able to use 100W bulbs for more light as my entry can be very dark in the evening.  I haven't installed it yet but am very pleased with the quality.
