Patio slab colours- Black/dark grey examples wanted

[Barno]

We are getting our patio done at the moment and are debating whether to go with some dark slabs (grey/black) or a light colour. I can't find many examples of dark patios on the net and am worried that it might look a bit too dark (of course dp likes the dark ones best because he is a boy!). Has anyone got any examples they can show me of how a dark patio might look?

I would also consider if your garden gets alot of sun as the black would absorb the heat making it even hotter.

Good point - I don't want to have burnt feet!
I am hoping that it all gets finished before the lovely summer sun arrives....!
