Looks are not as important as seal obviously but that is a shart looking humi.
Here's the thing...
The gasket material isn't white, it's gray. The white you see in the earlier pictures is the paper backing that you peel off.
What you actually see in that pic that appears to be the seal is the crappy fit of the lid on the humi, coupled with the fact that the mating surfaces of the lid and the box are not the same color as the outside of the unit.
They're like a fake light brown woodtone.
Staining it would be akin to staining contact paper like you stick in drawers. It's not wood, it's laminate, just like all cheap humidors. A guy could probably use a brown Sharpie and color in those surfaces, but it'd look tacky as hell.
They don't make a black seal, they make white, grey, and a light brown. The grey looked better than the brown on this thing, if you can believe that.
You can only polish a dog turd so far, ya know?
