These knobs are shinier than they looked online, but I absolutely love them! They are black, but not too black - sort of like a shiny, soft black. I tried many many sample knobs before I settled on these. They come with 2 screw sizes, which worked for most of my cabinets, I needed a washer for just 2 (you'll see those drawers in the pic). Very easy to install; I highly recommend if you are looking for a knob that is a bit different than the black matte knob!
