It’s gray/light black with grids every 1/2″ and has the 45 degree and 60 degree angles too (not shown here)  See how nicely it fits my center island?  It is completely edge to edge, it measures 30″ x 60″ and to cut on it is a dream. It’s self healing, it has 3 layers, it is easy on the rotary cutting blades, it’s reversible, it’s amazing! I believe in getting the best equipment you can afford, and this is really top of the line.   Actually, I never knew of this brand.  I’d only been exposed to Olfa, Fiskers, and the translucent one from JoAnn Fabrics. I’m glad I made this discovery.  custodia disney iphone 7
