Call it chameleon

"Ooba-
tooba?," asked the woman from down the street, looking at the card- board- wrapped island and counters.

No, I said, "peacock green."

And only when we got to the upstairs bath was there enough light to see the details.

The sunlight shows up the green and brown flakes in the black -- but it's still too bright, and the dark places too dark, for you to get a proper view.

Besides, it looks different against both colors of tile, and I'm sure it'll look different against the slate backsplash in the kitchen, too.
