These are more of a taupe color or “greige” than grey...  but that in itself isn’t a deal breaker. They also have natural marks on the stone that look a bit like greasy fingerprints. I gave it two stars instead of three because the cord is attached in one spot that does not provide flexibility for needing to move the lamp or turn the base to hide the aforementioned spots. Overall, the look is okay for the price. I just probably would have spent a bit more for better features and quality if I’d known.
