I read reviews before purchasing two of the for our kitchen island. I wanted to make sure it was a copper color on the inside and not gold like it looks in one of the photos. Many people stated it was copper but unfortunately it is a dull gold. The only way I will be able to make it look like a copper color is to paint the inside of the light or use a yellow filament  bulb. I was also disappointed that the purchase was for a new light but clearly was an opened returned item. We are on the fence if we will be keeping the lights or sending them back. But again if you are looking for a black and copper light.....this is not copper
