Bought this lamp for the corner of my mantle, where I just needed a bit of light.  Colours are exactly as I had hoped - metal is a dark bronze, and the stone ball part is a brown with a bit of green flecks.  Shade looks white in the picture, but is actually a tan colour, which works better in my living room.  Note that it is a fairly small lamp though, so if you are looking to put it on an end table, it will probably not work for you.
