Unwavering.  It took me some time to decide on a flooring shade for my kitchen floor but I am so pleased with my choice!  I needed a strong flooring that would not scratch easily.  This is exactly the look that I wanted for my renovated kitchen.  It is a darker shade with subtle hints of gray blended in.  My son, who is a contractor was very pleased with the ease that the flooring went down and we had very little waste.
