This piece is very eye catching upon entering a room.  It really added to the type of décor in my living room.  It is a distressed paint finish.  The color is green moss or sage.  It's perfect.  It is heavy, so you may need someone to help when hanging the piece.  Someone stated in another review that it looks like a window you'd see in New Orleans. This describes it perfectly.  I am so happy with this purchase.
