OMG.  My countertops are Calacatta , which has a tiny bit of gold in it.  This faucet is a subtle gold color -- not flashy, but classy.  Just beautiful.  If the house were on fire, it is what I would run back inside for! One note, however: when installing, set this faucet back a little more than usual.  The water shoots 13" out from the base.  If my sink were much narrower, the water would over-shoot it!
