Looks exactly like the pictures, unique taupey earthy brown that looks so high end against the cedar ceiling. The blades are clear, super quiet and it can really move some air considering how little the fan is. We were planning to install it angled because it can do that but in our case the box wasn’t in the exact right spot to be covered by the canopy so we build out a flat box. Very easy fan to install and light if you are working alone.
