    Thought I would do one more experiment based on a suggestion from dharmic, I took 0.5L of my already-mixed-to-instructions dye and diluted it with a further 1.5L of DI water... so waaaay more dilute than specified. The part being anodised was my tensioner roller, I anodised as before with 6amps/sqft to a theoretical thickness of 1mil and then used the diluted dye at 60 degrees celsius followed by a nickel acetate seal.

    Any guesses as to the colour?

    BLAAAAAACK.

    So as far as I can tell, with my particular setup/dye/pixie dust, grey is pretty much impossible for me to achieve.
