New or polished brass is a metal alloy, and the color varies from a light, bright "yellowish" to a moderately dark "reddish" color, depending on the ratio of elements in the alloy. Generally, the more copper the darker and more reddish the appearance.

Brass floor lamps don't need to be polished often, especially if you use the right materials, or keep the lamp in an environment that doesn't harm it's finish.

Non-lacquered requires you to spot clean the item with vinegar or lemon juice and then neutralize the acid by wiping thoroughly with a salt solution.
