Love this light! I was a little thrown off by the wording of the color- the “grey ash” is in fact, not grey at all. I reached out to the manufacturer to get a better idea and they told me it was going to be more silver grey... not sure who’s eyes need to be checked but it is indeed as the picture looks- a matte black. Perfect for the space I needed (foyer entry way). Great size, easy to install, incredible value!
