Great sink!  Very basic yet stylish.  I was going for a cast iron under mount but realized it was just to heavy and to involved to have it supported so I found this Elkay sink.  The color is a light speckled dull finish. You can hardly notice the speckles.  The sink is very deep, perfect for tall pots.   Only issue...........wait for the sink to be delivered and measure the bottom before purchasing a sink grid.
