I purchased the oil rubbed bronze. Everyone has their own interpretation of this finish, some have copper/red tones, some golden tones. I was looking for the bronze color without additional tones. The picture did not show any indication of any variation in color, just bronze! Sadly, when it arrived, there are several striations of gold color throughout the piece. I purchased the matching toilet paper holder and it's the same way. The shape is exactly what I wanted, so will live with what was received.
