Lead-free solder will have a dull surface even on a good joint though, no? IMO worth mentioning. Not grainy or with visible "fault lines", but dull.

yes, dull, but not rough or grainy that is exactly correct. It should be uniform, no grains or chunks, no crystal structure, no boundaries but smooth.
