The unpainted barrels are predominantly black or gray. The gray barrels bring olives from Spain and the black bring capers from Turkey. All the drums are emptied at our plant in Hyde Park and the contents are packed into jars and shipped across the country to retail stores for you to buy!  When you purchase an unpainted ran barrel you may get black or gray, based on availability. We do not guarantee colors. If you must have  a certain color please purchase a painted rain barrel.
