They look just like the stock photo. Very pleased with the paint. To address other comments, I do not find them to be faded or delicate. The only downside is that the balls aren't perfectly round. When you hold them, they are caved in a bit.... imagine a baby's head who has favored one side when he sleeps. When they are in a bowl, I can't see this flaw at all. I would order again. Please note that my photos were taken in direct sunlight with high exposure.
