It is not black in color but rather a dark shade, possibly blue. Additionally, it does not have large pockets and most importantly, one of the lower side pockets is very narrow, rendering it useless, suitable only for a screwdriver, it cannot even fit work gloves.
At least for its price, it is a decent choice.

The shorts for the money are great, just be careful with the size. I got an XL and it's more like a large. Also, the pockets are not deep.
