The weathervane is primarily dark brown with a slightly distressed, rusty appearance. The background is a flat, neutral off-white color. The weathervane is centrally positioned, with its tail pointing to the right side of the image. In the lower right corner, there is a small schematic drawing of the weathervane design.
