The marine blue color was true to what was shown on the website. This price point brings great value. After spending a fortune on a bedroom furniture set I wanted a nice high quality accessory that provided a pop of color at an affordable cost. I bought these TWO lamps for less than the cost of ONE very similar to it from a high end store. I am also very pleased with the quality & the look. It even came with two energy efficient light bulbs which was a nice bonus I was not expecting. It was well package & arrive all in one piece. I highly recommend this product.
