Is this kettle blue? Is that the difference between it and the one that appears to be more grayish silver?

More silvery grey than blue, but the plating has a slight bluish cast now that you mention it. If you boil it dry, it will slightly brown, albeit unevenly. Whoops. Not a huge capacity, but probably the best kettle I have owned from an ease of pouring. Note, no whistle, so easy to forget it on the stove.

The kettle I have is metallic silver, it is not colored; that's the color of the metal.

I'm not actually sure, but I have no complaints about it being so. Overall it is a great, affordable kettle.

Yes it is blue. The previous version was the metallic grey one or black as in the one Best Buy used to cell.

It is steel with a metal grey finish, not stainless. I was a little worried about the grey color too but it looks great in my small vintage kitchen, I have no regrets.

I bought it as a gift and already gave it so I can't check the color, but if I remember correctly, it's a darker silver/gray (darker than te silver outside).

It is a black enamel. Which I kinda like because you don't have to deal with oxidization or corrosion of the interior. That has often been a reason in the past for me to throw a tea kettle away. So far with relatively moderate family use (about 3 pots of hot water for tea per day) no chips, flaking, discoloration or anything has been seen. And I have checked. All in all I rather like it even though it was a bit unexpected when it arrived.

No, it just shows that on the inside of the handle.I'm away from home right now, or I'd send a picture, but I know that the exterior is definitely NOT blue.

The kettle is metal. The inside is dark and appears coated. The handle is a hard plastic.

While not a metal expert, it seems to be stainless steel. I use several times a day. It is still in great, like new, shape. Nothing has flaked off.(!) Nice kettle.

The picture of this product quite matches what the real thing is. Its a soft blue with silver stripes. But its mostly blue. I hope this helps.

The coloring is likely from the water. When we lived in Europe, we were fans of Russel Hobbs kettles, but the one we purchased in USA was no better than others we have tried. Our present kettle is a ChefsChoice International. We still like it after three years.

No, I won't describe it as bluish. My kitchen has stainless appliances of different brands and I think they go well together. It's not shiny like chrome and not 'soft' like brushed stainless.

Mine is blue just like the one pictured, but I do know they say color varies so I think you're liable to get any color. Great waterer though :)

My sink is cream colored, so I am not really sure. I have a friend who has this sink in black and it was suggested that she use "Barkeeper's Friend' (I think that is what it is called).. and it works great and is cheaper......... I also have been very happy with it....

It is like the photo but mine has the matte, not shiny, finish. The spout automatically opens and closes as the kettle is tilted.

Will, I bought mine earlier this year, and mine was blue. I had previously used a friend's (green) for evaluation purposes in my purchase of an up-grade machine, and I can't tell any difference between his and mine. BTW, I am very happy with this machine.

It is grey. No blue. -People might confuse it with blue for its contrast with the black in it, but it's definitely grey.
