It looks black in photo as it is 8:30 at night no sun light all clouds as it is black base blue metalflake and light blue ranger stripes. It is pretty in person but I would have liked a blue base color but you cannot choose a color when you buy a used one and in your price range way under 10 It was the same price as a 18 foot other brand that was 5 years older but has a 150 instead of a 115 but I will get better gas milage with the 115 and only a bit slower but that is fast enough for me right now on a river and small lake
