Mid-grey is the colour engineers reach for when the shape matters more than the finish. It sits between black and white in how much detail it reveals: fillets, chamfers and draft angles are visible without the harsh shadows of a dark colour or the glare of white. That makes it the sensible default for design reviews, fit checks and parts photographed for documentation. It also primes well when a model moves on to painting. SA Filament produces it locally, so a project running over several weeks can be finished in one consistent shade rather than a patchwork of near-matches.
