Very pleased with this faucet! It’s a true matte black and it perfectly compliments the black flecks in my counter top. Doesn’t come with a soap dispenser, but I was able to find a complimentary dispenser on Wayfair (wouldn’t have bothered except this was a replacement faucet and the countertop already had a hole drilled for the dispenser). The white HC indicators are just a stick-on accessory piece. I opted to leave it off.
