I was hesitant to like these pans. I am starting to really Love them though. I can put them in the dishwasher and they are still Performing great. I always add a little oil still but the nonstick is perfect. I love the straight edges as well. The color I got was brown and it's a classic dark brown. The pans are a little on the heavy side and strain my wrists a bit but nothing that I can't tolerate. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
