The pictures of this item make it look like a color intermediate between purple and pink, however in person, under natural light, I would describe it as being redder/pinker and I would probably describe the color scheme as just pink, maybe with hints of purple. The top panel also looks white in natural light. As purple is my favorite color Im a little bit disappointed in that, and yet despite that, it is really amazing work. Had I known what it would look like in natural light, its possible that Id have gone for Cajamarca Splendor by the same artists, which is a bold combination of secondary colors including purple. However, regardless, I am very happy that I have one of these cabinets, and this color scheme would have been one of my top two finalists for which one I wanted, regardless. I am very happy to have it; it is such a neat piece, and I am amazed that when you consider how much it would cost to ship this much glass from the Andes, they can offer it at this price.

I gave this as a wedding gift (along with something from their registry). The young couple absolutely love this reverse-painted glass tray. The colors are more vibrant in person. Its beautiful. The kids liked it so much they asked me for more history and info about it, so I printed up the artists story and a history of reverse-glass-painting. These trays are very useful also...and very sturdy... I use mine all the time!!

At first, when I looked at the pattern on these coasters, it seemed sort of old fashioned, but the more I looked, the more beautiful the coasters became. I now own three items in this Golden Colonial Elegance or Colonial Gold pattern: these coasters, a box, and a tray. I am in love with all of them. Ms. Polos work is just so beautifully made and done, these things are really gorgeous is all I can say, and I thank her for the beauty she has given me.
