Buy Gunmetal Furniture Handles: Dark & Distinctive

What is gunmetal and when is it suitable?

Gunmetal is a dark metallic finish with a warm, slightly brownish undertone, falling between black and dark grey. Compared to matte black, gunmetal appears less stark and offers more depth due to its metallic sheen. The Vasco Gunmetal has a square cross-section and is available in drill hole spacings from 64 to 640 mm. It is particularly suitable for dark, strong interiors and for those seeking a handle with more character than black, but less warm than gold.

Gunmetal in Practice: Which Fronts Does It Work Best On?

Gunmetal works best on dark fronts in anthracite, dark green, or dark blue, because the dark metal surface picks up and enhances the powerful color scheme of these fronts. On light fronts in white or light gray, a strong contrast is created, bringing the handle to the fore. For interiors that find black handles too uniform, gunmetal is a more nuanced alternative with more personality.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gunmetal Handles

What is the difference between gunmetal and black?

Matte black handles have a uniform, dark surface with no metallic effect. Gunmetal has a slightly bronze undertone and a subtle metallic shimmer that becomes visible depending on the light. In direct comparison, gunmetal appears warmer and livelier than pure black.

Does gunmetal match black fittings?

Yes. Gunmetal and black can be combined well because both surfaces are in the same dark color family. A slight difference in tone between the handle and the fitting is perceived in practice as a deliberate, strong contrast and not as a mistake.
