As in yes, some pieces looked black. We had ordered a lot.. for our floor to ceiling fireplace and also to wrap the bases of our porch columns and the porch skirt. I was sick to my stomach because they were not at all what I had pictured.
HOWEVER. We gave it a chance and I thought if it looked horrible, I could whitewash some of the darker bricks. I wanted to get the project going and we had someone scheduled to install the next day. Once on the wall, it came out just as I had pictured. Any lighter, and the room would not have had such a dramatic look. It was easy to work with and went up in a short amount of time. If you want real stone, order real stone. This worked great for our budget.
