Have not put this up yet, but just looked at it in box. Like the reviews I had seen when I purchased, the fan is darker than the picture. I am adding some pictures of the blades, next to the box that shows the same color online so you can compare. Luckily, I am putting it a different room than I thought when I purchased, so it works out. Regardless, it's very pretty! Update, the fan was installed today, and is so beautiful, I have uploaded a picture. Much prettier than I thought, only reason for not giving it a five is because it is much darker than pictured.
