Hippo Ltd Run (511891)<br />An opaque grey.

An opaque grey.




"On the whole, I really, really like this colour. It's a great, neutral base colour, and the way the surface can be brought to a rich brown is particularly neat. The way the silver turns blue on it under encasement also makes me really happy."

Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Hippo is a grey with a brownish hue.
"Hippo is an opaque grey with a hint of brown about it. It's very similar to CiM Khaki but in my opinion it behaves a little bit better. It's great to work with - it's got a nice medium consistency, it doesn't reduce or devitrify and it looks fab when etched." Read more at Laura's blog. – Laura Sparling

"Hippo works quite nicely as stringer too. It's quite crisp and smooth and only spreads if you really, really heat it. These beads show Hippo paired with Adamantium." Read more at Laura's blog.
