Color? edit
What color is gunmetal? From the picture, and from the fact that it is also called "yellow brass", it seems that the color is yellow. Yet most people appear to think that it is dark gray: try doing a Google image search for "gunmetal". What's the true color, then? 69.211.96.67 (talk) 09:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
- The color known as "gunmetal" is indeed dark grey - as is the alloy when it becomes tarnished enough. Salmanazar (talk) 22:03, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I clicked on the Siege of Sevastopol link but it says the metal is believed to be from Chinese cannon captured in the 1840s instead. Wnt (talk) 15:47, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
