If you are looking for the brightest lemon yellow..safety yellow, 1960's retro yellow..these lamps are it...not at all as pictured..not mustard yellow, not gold..but NEON yellow.  Nice lamp though.. and nice weight...love the shape..so I bought some glassceramic paint to achieve the color pictured here, which is of course why I ordered these to begin with!  The lamps were packaged beautifully and arrived in a very timely manner.
