I adore this sink. It is matte black with a subtle silver sparkle. It drains well, dries quickly, and doesn’t stain. Installed six months and so far no dents, nicks or cracks. We top mounted but it can be under mounted. It is the perfect size, not too huge but big enough to fit all my pans. It goes perfectly with my matte black cabinets and butcher block. Paired with brushed nickel fixtures, mostly Kohler.
