"This was horizontal stripes, heated and allowed to flow over the white. Where is has stretched out thin, it looks grey - but where it is thicker, it looks black." Read more at DragonJools blog. – Dwyn Tomlinson

Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Midnight was engineered in response to customer requests for a transparent navy.
  • Midnight is unique to the 104 color palette.
  • Midnight shifts color depending on the lighting.
"This is a very tricky color to categorize. It has a deep purple cast to it making me think it was more like a violet, but when pulled into a hair stringer to check color it looked gray. Very puzzling." – Genea Crivello-Knable
  • Midnight is a very dense transparent and is best layered over white or clear to show the color.

"I pulled a stringer to check its density - I was expecting to see purple like Effetre black, or maybe a green tinge like Hades, but I found it was really very light grey. So I tried it over Effetre white, and yes, Midnight is definitely grey!" Read more at Julie's blog.

"Midnight is a very stiff transparent colour, sort of like Leaky Pen, however it does not have Leaky Pen's tendency to boil, pit and spark in the flame. It is very dark, even over a core of Clear, and is wonderfully reactive with other colours but stable with silver." Read more at Melanie's blog.

"I chose a number of different base glasses to pop my Midnight shards on top of. Starting at the top and looking clockwise - over the top of Zachary, Fremen, Blush and Gelly's Sty, these shards do indeed show purple tones. Over Desert Pink, Larkspur and Cranberry Pink, Midnight shards tend to look much more like dark blue." Read more at the thread on Craft Pimp.

"In rod form, Midnight is so dark that it can easily be mistaken for black. Even holding it up to the light, you can only see the barest hint of a transparent charcoal grey with maybe a tiny hint of blue. I pulled it into a swatch, only the thinnest part, towards the bottom end, can be seen as a dark transparent grey. When pulled into stringer, you can definitely see it as a transparent charcoal grey that is the kind of neutral color that reminds me of black and white photography. There's little saturation, even though the color is very dense." Read more at Kandice's blog.
