A beautiful dark color and the material seems like it will withstand daily use. I wouldn't describe it as pitch black, but its darker than charcoal. Ive had several stainless sinks in the past, and I don't love all the upkeep with having to keep them looking clean. I also purchased the matching drain strainers. In some of the reviews  before purchasing, people had mentioned these sinks felt like plastic, and I would have to disagree- while it doesn't feel like an unpolished stone sink, it certainly doesn't feel like its made out of plastic and definitely feels more high end than plasticky.
