The picture looks white so that was what I was expecting if however it's a silver and I think I like it better that way. It's super bright and the shadows from the light look a forest is on your walls which I love I don't really have any cons about this light it took awhile to connect the crystals bit so worth the time and the install was like 15 mins the directions were a little confusing but really I love this likght can't wait to buy one more for my other bed room
