The plaster isn't dry yet and it looks funny.  I couldn't wait to take a picture, they had just put it on and closed for the day.  Today I'll get another picture of it and see if it lightens some.  It is a 'Santa Barbara' finish, smooth, like an interior wall.  The color is an antique cream color, hopefully it will have variations in the color caused from the 'burnishing' technique of applying it.
