The gold pictured is very misleading. The stock photo shows a very rich, bright gold, when in reality it is a very muted color. When I first saw it I honestly thought it was silver, but now it looks silver with a tinge of gold. So, if you are looking for something that is actually gold this is not the product for you. 

Another point to touch on is that the pull down mechanism portion of this faucet highly misses the mark, and the water pressure in the spray nozzle is very disappointing. I mean,  I can remove the spray nozzle from the holder to move it around, but it does not pull down far beyond that point. All in all, this is a very over priced faucet for what you are getting. I was very much looking forward to getting this beautifully pictured, wonderfully working faucet to finish out our new build kitchen, but now I am stuck with this expensive piece of junk(excuse the honesty).
