I love this blanco sink and it arrived in perfect condition.  I got the color cinder and it's a dark gray.  Some reviews said it has a brownish tint to it, but to me it's more gray and goes perfectly with my counter tops.  I also purchased the Precis 22.69" x 13.56" Sink Grid that fits perfectly in the bottom.  The sink is on the small side (just what we wanted because we have a small kitchen) but it's deep so it works just fine for clean up.  We use the dishwasher mostly and only need to do a few dishes now and then when everything won't fit in the dishwasher.  Love this sink.
