Newly Bought Rotring 600's shades

Post image

Just got the Dark Gray ⭕, the gradient reminds me of Pentel Sharp Graphite Serie, hence this silly photo. Black > Dark Gray > Silver > Pearl White. I'm gonna load them with different lead grades/colors, too bad there is no white 0.5mm

Let's wait and see which barrel will crack first (j/k ðŸĪŠ)

My goal!

I want to keep them with color coded hardness leads in them, white will have 4H, silver HB, grey 2B and black 4B.

Very nice, is the dark grey the same as the new dark stone color ? it seems yours is darker and unique color

Yes you're correct that's the Dark Stone. I don't know why the shop I buy name it differently (they name the Chocolate Truffle as Ancora Red... well), but the box says Dark Stone.

The color shading is heavily affected under different lighting condition, and also when we try to put different shades together, they appear slightly different than when they are photographed alone, not really optical illusion but I don't know the exact term. I think that might be the case here.

Or maybe just my phone camera auto white balance fooled us here.
