I opted for the gold/brass color. Definitely on the darker end of the gold/brass spectrum, but looks nice with the black wire. I have it in a small alcove near a guest bathroom and it gives some much needed light to the space. It had been a recessed light (hence the cover that I need to paint). While cute, I probably wouldn't put it in a more visible spot (has a slightly "cheaper" feel than other pendants). A bit tricky to clean.
