I got the dark brown/black fan and it works great.  I also purchased the Deluxe Ceiling Fan Wall Control for the handyman to install and it works perfectly.  I was especially looking for a fan that would reverse rotate from a wall or remote control as our fan as we have high ceilings and it works great.  I could've gone with a slightly larger fan for the space, but didn't realize it until the handyman told me.  But I still think it looks great in the space.
