Is the main base of this lamp white or ivory..I have seen it described both ways on different store sites I don't care what color the shade is

It's kinda in between kinda off white but not really ivory. The shade that came with mine is white with a black trim.

It's Ivory, but it's also a piece of crap. I bought two. The shades of both fell apart and the base of one quit working for only God knows what reason. The other base still works, but sometimes it just randomly turns off all on its own. Not helpful. Shopping for new lamps now.

The base is white plastic. I see how it's confusing because the description says the finish is "blue." Nope. It's solid white like the main image.

This is a large shade that works perfectly on my floor lamp. It is an ivory or cream color, not pink.

The shade is not pure white. It does appear to be white or just a slightly off white when the light is turned off. However, with the light turned on, there is definitely a yellow or beige tint. The shade also has a linen appearance that is really pretty. If you are looking for a pure white shade, I wouldn't go with this one though.

It's lightly a brushed/satin finish, but still reflects light off of the outside finish quite a bit. We really like this arc lamp - it's big, impressive, heavy-based. We get a lot of compliments on ours (we bought two, one for a music studio and one for our living room). No surprises on each, shipping was great and prompt. Would buy again. Enjoy.

The lamp has an off white shade. There is a brass colored pull chain to turn the lamp on and off and the clamps that go over the headboard are white. The lamp is wonderful, simple and easy to use. I would buy the lamp again.

The only area that is white on this lamp is the inside of the top part where the light is - so it is more relfective. All aluminum parts and the exterior top parts are black. (Unless they now offer this unit in white, and that would be very odd, the three I bought have all been black.) I love mine...still like new, still going strong.

I would say it is mostly black, and the edges of the leaves and and the edges of the circles around the base stand out as bronze. It really is a pretty lamp. Done this way, it makes it more interesting than a blah one color. The switch is near the upper lamp.

Brian, the shade is made of lead and high grade plastic. It's not cheap at all, heavy and beautiful in design. There are 2 bulbs. When the light is turned on, it's not white as is shown in the picture, but rather "off white"

The shade is white; it comes with two rods that can be used together or separately. I used the short rod and hung the lamp from the ceiling using a plant hook in an 8 ft ceiling apt.

Yes--I own the lamp and it is silver. And fabulous! I have it in my daughter's nursery.

The glass diffuser is pure white. The fabric of the lamp is a linen, and as such, I wouldn't say that it's pure white, but I don't think of it as yellowish. It is not as white-white as it appears in the picture.

It is most definitely slightly off-white/beige-y on the base (not as tan as in the thumbnail), and gray on the neck. The wire casing and the cord is close to pure white. The answers here were split on the matter, and I hoped it was white so it would coordinate with a pure white table. You can see the variation in color when you hold the pieces next to each other and/or compare the base to something else that's pure white.

It's white; however, I wouldn't recommend this product. Mine was made wrong, and the shade sits crooked on the base.

This lamp is definitely taupe-colored. Over this, there is a"gold-ish" paint, making the shade champagne. Other parts of the lamp (mag. glass arm and clip arm and clamp mount) remain taupe. I have only used the clamp mounted n a shelf and have never used the desk or floor stands. Everything blends well together and it is a beautiful, very functional lamp.

It is a desk lamp but the lamp base is quite large. I returned it without using it.

I'm not sure-but the lamp itself is white. The colors are just from the light inside. Hope this helps
