Graphite is a deep, dark cool grey with the look of worn pencil lead — the perfect near-black for gun metal, machinery, blackened steel and shadowed panels. It's dark enough to sit as a base for metal effects yet stays a true grey rather than a flat black, so your highlights and drybrushing have somewhere to go.
