The item in the picture is clearly silver, which is precisely why I ordered it.  It is a perfect match for my living room decor.  I was super excited imagining how it would look hanging above my sofa.  Instead, I received a dark "bronze" or golden color metal wall decor.  It does not match anything in my living room.  I almost cried.  If I spray paint it,I fear the paint will mess up the shadows and cheapen the look.   Extremely disappointed!!!      Dominique Las Vegas, NV
