Guide & full description
Complete guide: Eternal drawing ink Opaque Neutral Gray 80 30ml
Gray 80 is the darkest gray in Eternal's Neutral Gray series, an American ink manufacturer founded in 1976. It has an intensity close to black, but remains sufficiently distinct from it, so it helps build the deepest shadows in gray-scale works where you don't want absolute black. It comes in a 30 ml bottle with a squeeze cap and integrates with the other shades in the series for complete gradients. It is useful for those working in black and white who want a very dark, but predictable, tone from bottle to bottle.
How to use
- Shake the bottle well before each use to evenly distribute the dense pigment.
- Pour only what you need into a disposable cap; never insert the tool directly into the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining ink.
- Use Gray 80 for the deepest shadow areas where you want a near-black sensation but not absolute black.
- Build the gradient with the lighter shades in the series (Gray 20, 40, 60) for transitions, and save Triple Black for the darkest points.
- Being an opaque, pre-dispersed formula, it deposits color in controlled layers without needing to mix it manually.
- Seal the squeeze cap tightly immediately after use to prevent drying and contamination.
- At the end, discard both the cap and any leftover ink; do not pour it back into the bottle.
Tips from us
- Test the shade on a sample surface beforehand to see how dark Gray 80 appears compared to Triple Black and lighter grays.
- Keep the entire Neutral Gray series handy: the complete gradient (20 – 40 – 60 – 80 + Triple Black) gives you smooth transitions without improvised mixes.
- Since the shades are consistently calibrated from bottle to bottle, you can resume a piece later without worrying the tone will differ.
- Note the opening date on the bottle to track freshness and respect the shelf life.
- Shake every time before use, as dense pigments can settle over time.
Frequently asked questions
How dark is Gray 80 compared to black?▾
It is the darkest gray in the Neutral Gray series — according to the description, around 80% of the intensity of full black. It's almost black, but maintains a visible distinction from Triple Black, so you can separate deep shadow from absolute black.
When should I use Gray 80 and when Triple Black?▾
Gray 80 is for deep shadows that don't need to be pure black, and Triple Black for the darkest areas. The difference between them creates a sense of depth; you can use them together, alongside Gray 20, 40, and 60, for a complete gradient.
Can I combine the entire Neutral Gray series?▾
Yes, the series is designed to be used as an integrated set. According to the description, the combination Gray 20 + 40 + 60 + 80 + Triple Black provides a gradient from almost white to absolute black, without needing to manually mix shades.
How do I store it and how hygienically should I work with it?▾
Keep the bottle at room temperature, away from light and heat, do not freeze it, and seal the cap tightly after use. Shake before each use. Pour only what you need into a disposable cap, do not insert the tool directly into the bottle, and discard any leftover ink in the cap.
What does it mean that the ink is 'opaque'?▾
Opaque means a dense, covering consistency, not a diluted wash-type shade. It deposits color consistently and predictably, suitable for controlled layers.
Is it vegan?▾
Yes, according to the manufacturer's description it is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, like the entire Eternal range.
