Overall this is a nice little set. The colors do seems to be darker and greener in person. This is the grey set. The spots are that of a chocolate color and vary in opacity across all pieces. The set came with a few defects. One bowl has a crack that was “sealed” in an attempt to save it but honestly If someone was buying this set their expectations would be to not have something like that. It should have been inspected and removed. Not sure how these will stand up over time. They are light, and thin but decent. Dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe according to the manufacturer.
