Ask a Dark Sider.

The particular shade of grey I refer to in conjunction with my path I informally call "Gunmetal". Grey is a spectrum, some lean some ways more than others. See my journal for more on that whole argument.

GUNMETAL definition: A dark shade of grey with a tint of blue.

Then there is

'light' gunmetal...

'dark' gunmetal...

"satin finish' gunmetal...

'gloss' gunmetal...

...

Chrome, black matte, and my personal favorite, damascus steel. My grandpas old 16 gauge was that. It was a beautiful weapon.

/they don't make 'em like they used to...

Oooh. Quite nice.

Don't make me bring out the bbcode colour arrangements on the different Force Alignments, Jestor. ^^

Gunmetal is a slight... I'm not sure what the word might be. Pun? It's a pun on the fact it's Grey, it's Dark, and has a tint of blue, which is the Force Academy's colour to identify Light Aspect members.

lol, just teasin' ya William...

I know. ^^

But I felt it needed explaining, as a blue name here seems to denote people who aren't admins or mods, or other specific ranks. At the FA, Blue is used for any members of the Light Aspect, where I am currently studying as LightningStrike's apprentice.

Wait a nin, aren't you already a dark aspect knight there?

Yessum. Knight of the Dark Aspect, knighted by David Edge, December 22nd, 2012. I was even Head of the Dark Aspect, albeit for less than a week before I handed the reign over to the Council when I realised that I was not ready for that role.

But I have come to a realisation, which I have shared in my journal here, as "Dark, Light and the Rest of Us". I'm exploring the Light Aspect, not of the Force, though I'm sure Charles will be working with me on the Force, but of my Self.
