I looove this light!! I struggled a bit with the mounting, but considering I had never replaced a light fixture, it was manageable.  It is a dark bronze, and I was actually surprised by the size of the fixture, larger than I expected visually, which works for me! The gold interior lining makes the bug light that I use appear to give off an amber glow, but still very beautiful. The photocell is a nice touch too! It is kind of contemporary and farmhouse all in one. Great purchase!!
