Description:
BB SB Gunmetal Mid is a dark opaque grey borosilicate color. In the studio, a true gunmetal grey is one of the most useful neutral builders you can keep on the bench because it behaves like a structural color. It gives you strong contrast against brights, it reads cleanly in sculptural work, and it can be used to create shadows, outlines, and mechanical or industrial-looking details without the harshness of a full black.
In lampworking, opaque greys are commonly chosen for sculpted forms, pattern work, and any design where you want the color to stay solid and consistent rather than relying on transparency. Gunmetal tones are especially popular for animal forms, hardware details, and modern palettes where you want a grounded, professional finish.
How it is used:
Use BB SB Gunmetal Mid anywhere you need a stable, opaque neutral in borosilicate work. It is well-suited for:
- Pulling stringer for outlines, borders, and crisp graphic separation between colors
- Building sculptural elements where you want a solid grey that reads clearly from every angle
- Creating shadow lines, depth accents, and dimensional details without going full black
- Pairing with transparent colors to make them pop while keeping the overall palette controlled
Because it is opaque, it is an excellent choice for surface work and sculpting where you want predictable coverage and consistent color density.
