EDIT: Do not purchase. The backing comes off when you wash them. The fabric still seems okay, but the rubber backing is garbage. We washed them 3 times and the rubber has almost completely peeled off. They have become dog mats.

The mats are a dark brown. Maybe like a coffee or chocolate color. I like them because they're pretty neutral and came in a two pack. We put one in front of our stove and one in front of our sink. They seem pretty durable and they stay in place well. I have not washed them yet, but will be sure to update my review if they fall apart or something.
