I purchased 3 of these lights for my hallway and foyer. They are beautiful and seem to be pretty decent quality. The picture shows a very white/silver light. When the light is off it looks just like the picture but when it is on it does have a warm off white color to the shade. Very diffused light that is great for hallway but it may not be bright enough for larger rooms. I love them and they add some fun to my classic decor.
