Bright & colorful as pictured !I underestimated my kitchen sink measurements. So the dishpans are alittle smaller than I prefer, but they actually fit in my sink, just fine ! And they're deep enough. They are also thick & sturdy enough, so I'm confident they'll last awhile ! ***** UPDATE *****I purchased these to place in my kitchen sink for dishwashing. I use the Green one to wash dishes.And the blue one to rinse my dishes clean in HOT water.I use these containers regularly and it's been nearly TWO years (one yr & 9mos, to be exact). And they are STILL very sturdy, colorful & holding up very well !!!I often use bleach in the green container & HOT water in the blue container and there's...NO CRACKING, NO PEELING & NO FADINGI'M VERY SATISFIED !!! IT'S WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE !!!(There are 4 containers in this purchase,2 Green & 2 Blue)
