I love this sink. We have it installed under a white quartz countertop and it’s beautiful. It is sort of speckled black (fully black but is textured so it doesn’t look like a smooth matte black). From what I know, this is just how these granite sinks are from the way they’re made. The photo shows what it’s like wet and dry. Super easy to clean. If you’ve never owned a granite sink I recommend researching it as they are different to own than your traditional stainless. 100% would purchase again. Side note, the faucet is a delta also from Wayfair (Trinsic Pull Down Single Handle Kitchen Faucet)
