How 'white' is the Bianca? I have white appliances & would like the sink to be at least 'close' to a typical white appliance finish.

Swanstone's Bianca is white with gray specks. Swanstone's website give you a closer look at the Bianca color: http://www.theswancorp.com/?page=colors (Bianca is in the "Granite" color section).

I have a cafe brown sink and it works great. Need to make sure you rinse it well so not white residue.

Are you sure you want a stainless steel sink? I cannot believe anyone would want a stainless steel sink (or stove, dishwasher or refrigerator) that shows everything, especially hard water deposits. I've used them at work and would never have one in my home. I love this faucet. The surface of the entire faucet is a smooth polished chrome finish, not a brushed dull finish. But it will still go well with a stainless steel sink. I have soap and lotion dispensers installed in my sink that I couldn't get in shiny chrome, but even the brushed finish that doesn't match still looks good.

I chose white because that was the color of the basin that we used in my family's kitchen when I was growing up back in the 50's. When my basin gets dinged, and with daily use as an outside basin it does get banged around a bit, the dark metal underneath shows through, making it look more and more like the old basin from my past. The dark blue enamel would probably hide signs of wear and tear better than the white does, and so dark blue might better suit the needs of someone of a more gentle persuasion.

I have 2 of these sinks and like everyone else stated, the sink does have a lot of copper coloring. Definitely get the sinks and then choose your counter top. Love the sinks!

It is not a high gloss, nor is it a matte finish, it is somewhere in between. I have a white kitchen sink that is a matte kind of finish and this piece looks just fine with what I have.

Its bright white. Not off white or cream. Might depend on your lighting but I use daylight led lighting which is much whiter than normal yellowish lighting and my sink looks bright white.

Leah Huber's comments are spot on (no pun intended). The flecks add character to the sink and separates it from "just black." This is an extremely functional, classy-looking sink.

I've had my sink in for around 15 months. No chips, discoloration etc. mine is the white ( bianco) and is gorgeous with my Kashmir white granite. We put the waste disposal on the small side as it was an easier fit. I was kinda disappointed with this at first, but it has been great in the smaller sink. I can have dishes stacked or soaking in the larger sink and still rinse plates etc into the garbage disposal. The deeper sink is very large and deep, I think the waste disposal would be hard to reach in the large sink, and also the small sink needs rinsing/wiping after using waste disposa and this woud obviously be a much bigger job in larger sink.

Hi MaryIt was average stiff I would say, but either way can be a bit aggravating at times. My sink area is not the easiest to work with because I have a small kitchen with very little counter space...in fact my washer sometimes "doubles" as counter space. Eventually I'll just have to find a house with a LOT more counter top.<G>

I wouldn't say it's brushed, but more of a flat. It's just not shiny stainless. It matches my stainless steel sink.

No they are white. They seem like hard plastic but don't scratch the sink at all. I love it.

What do you mean, How the sink is? It's great. It sits on top of my granite countertop as a vessel sink. It is white and cleans up well. My plumber put some silicone around the edge for leaking but I didn't like the look and I don't think you need it so I wiped off a much as possible. The drain is large. I like it. Hope that helps.

Well, we put in a new Corian counter with an under mount stainless steel sink and chose arctic for the faucet. We think it has a nice amount of contrast with the sink. If you try to match two different stainless finishes they might be close but not exact and look a little off. We like how the arctic faucet looks with our Elkay stainless sink.

The Vibrant stainless is brushed. If you want to match a stainless steel sink, it would be better to go with the polished chrome.

It is white. I'm not sure which are the correct dimensions but it definitely fits in a normal size sink. I was concerned when I bought it but it works and I would buy again.
