Question: What color is this sink mat?  Some reviewers say they have a brown one, other say theirs' are black.
Document: The product is great. And I ended up ordering two of these large ones. The color of the large is a dark grey (some have called it brown). It is NOT black (as it might appear from the picture).I'm satisfied with the design and the color.What did not satisfy, however, was the suggestion of Amazon to pair it with a small one. The small one is BLACK! So if you want one black and one dark grey, fine. But if you assumed, from the pictures, that both were the same color, well... you will be disappointed.I actually checked with an Amazon employee (Amazon has terrific customer service in my book!)
Got this mat for my caf&eacute; brown blanco sink. The colour is darker than my sink but it doesn't jar on the eye. I push it to one side of my sink (it's a large rectangular basin-type) and use it as a holding mat for my china while I rinse and wash them under the faucet. It's not the same size as my sink so it does leave the drain free to wash food debris down so that's a plus, though, it would be nice to get one large rectangular mat to fit the entire sink.
We have a cocoa brown sink and it was difficult to find a mat that would match the color but this was as close that I could find. It's roughly 13" x 15" which is fairly large, and doesn't have a cut out for the drain so it will fit sinks with openings off center as well as centered. It has an adequate number of "nubs" on the under-surface which keeps it off the drain bottom allowing adequate drainage. It is fairly rigid also and is more in line with a plastic and not rubber.
I purchased a mocha colored e-granite sink recently and wanted to protect the bottom of the sink when I wash pots and pans. So I began to search for a brown sink mat. This was the only one I found that was brown and that was a good size for my one bowl sink. The mat itself measures  13"x16" which for some unknown reason is not listed in the description on Amazon. The mat has a series of small and larger elongated openings to allow the water to drain. It does not have a circular area to cut out for the actual sink drain but I do not mind that at all.
The mat is perfect for our black sink and is better designed than the one we bought it to replace from William and Sonoma - always full of built up bacteria/slim, yuck. Its much nicer looking than the picture.
I ordered this & think it is one of the best designed black sink mats that I have seen. I decided to return it only because I wanted a different style/design. I opted for the amber pebbled mat instead. But if someone wanted a black mat, this is the way to go & should not be disappointed.
The color of the mat is not black as it appears in the photo. It is a dark grey semi transparent mat.
I originally bought a white one, but it showed stains (from onions, carrots, etc...) all the time. So, when that one ripped, I decided to buy a black one. I LOVE IT! While still having antimicrobial protection, stains don't show. Every day it looks new! It fills our large sink perfectly and the water drains really well through all the holes and the raised feet on the bottom.
- and she verified that I had ordered two different colors. But too late! The order was already on its way. (To Amazon's credit she offered to send me a voucher for a return, but right now I'm too swamped to do more than issue this warning to other buyers. )If you have one large sink, as I'm going to have in the new place, don't pair this one with a small one, cuz the small comes in black and in a large sink the difference would be so noticeable.
It functions fine. The good thing about it is the color. The black color made it a good choice to pull the sink in with the counter top..
Answer: I bought this mat and the one I received was chocolate/café brown in color, mine does not look black.
