Color listed as taupe so I was expecting more brown or tan, but turns out to look just  grey to me, which does not fit in as well as hoped,  so I probably ordered the wrong color.  Also, since the shoulders of this barrell are wider than the top opening it does not sit close enough to the porch for the top opening to be directly under the eave, so it is not yet clear if it will work with a rain chain as planned. It is a nice looking shape, but would work better with a wider eave, and would look better by a grey house in my opinion.
