I ordered light blue and in one review photo it looks blue, but mine is light gray in all different lighting, day or night. I asked 3 other people who said it looked gray. This is a cheap lamp so I didn't expect a high quality shade, but it's not that nice with holes in the weaving and mine had loose threads hanging off. The trim was also peeling off in spotsand smoothing it down doesn't keep it in place. Be aware that I used a small size bulb (smaller than a standard light bulb) and it shows at the top of the shade. It's on my kitchen counter and you can definitely see it at the top and it's not a nice look. If you don't have high expectations this is fine, but I'm replacing it.
