A:Answer Mine is black, but I think it comes in both colors, you just need to look for the options on Best Buy's page. Honestly, I keep mine behind a recliner where nobody sees it, anyway, and if it had to be in a space where it was visible, I'd probably put a piece of fabric on it for decoration purposes. I wouldn't describe these as "ugly", per se, but I wouldn't have one sitting out and about in plain view, either. They have a "functional" look to them.
