I was a little reluctant about the "turquoise" in the description when I ordered the clock, but it goes well with different shades of blue.  It has great antique appeal with the rustic wood and painted colors of blue and cream.  It really looks like an antique clock.  We mounted it on the wall and then moved it to the vaulted ceiling wall.  It looks good in both spots.  We have received many complements.  The size of the clock is exactly what the description states, so keep that in mind.
