On the computer this may appear as a shade of grey. The actual finish is a very dark grey that is almost black. The actual badge you receive may be significantly darker than what is displayed on your screen or device.<\/p>\n

Please also note that black enamel lettering is difficult to see on the Gunmetal\/Black finish. For lettering color we recommend choosing either no enamel or a color of enamel that contrasts with black.<\/p>\n
