Pipes are often dull black due to the oxidation that occurs on the surface of the metal. When exposed to air and moisture, the iron in the pipes can react with oxygen to form iron oxide, giving them a black appearance. Additionally, pipes are often painted or coated with a black finish for corrosion resistance and to protect the metal from environmental factors.
