The tone of gold is very nice, not too yellow. 
I paired it with the same gold tone curtain rods from umbra and it looks luxurious. 
I wish that it was a tad thicker, I ordered the longest rod for across a bay window and it does droop in the middle ever so slightly.
I also wish the brand name wasn't so visible on the rod. "umbra" is printed right on the wall mounting piece but your curtains will cover most of it.
