Loved this lamp on line because the shade appeared to be almost like tiffany, with the dark shaded area as it’s design and contrast , but it actually is the same color all the way around. It’s a tan color with a dark brown base. Not what I wanted or thought I would be getting! You have to put the light on to see any difference. I wish I could post the photo of the one I got. It’s extremely different than the photo on lamps plus site.
