These grays are beautiful and very useful. A recent purchase, but I've used all four colors, already. The darkest, Lava Rock, is a great almost-black for sentiments, where black might be a bit harsh. I used Moon Rock on an all-over text background stamp, it was perfect. Like Altenew says, if you want an even, crisp impression, every time, their dye inks will do that.

I buy the mini cut sets of colors to see if they work for me before I invest in the large pads. The ink is smooth giving great results every time.

Love these Warm Gray colors for making monochromatic flowers, using the Build-a-Flower stamps from Altenew.

I wanted an ink color for the outlines of my flowers that wasn't as stark as black ink. These are a great color substitute for that.

This gray dye ink works nicely for a soft watercolor look and it’s not as harsh as black would be & great for stamping to water color for a ‘no line’ look.
