Blue and Black Gravel

blakeoe · 06-05-2005, 07:38 PM

Anyone have blue and black mixed gravel? If so could you post pics? I am thinking of mixing some black in with the blue i already have and would love to see how it looks BEFORE i actually do it. Seems like it would be a pain if i did it and didn't like it!

It looks like you have the same blue gravel I do, and I would have to think some black would look good, I had some black with purple mixed in(sparingly) and it looked cool until the purple faded out. But yeah, it would suck to mix it in and find out you don't like it. Maybe you could mix some in an outside container to get a feel for what it would look like.

hmmm, i have black sand and at one time i was looking at them glow pebbles on ebay, diferent colors, figured look pretty cool spread through out it, they make a blue/black rock substrates looks pretty sweet, i'd go for it!

you could do as mrmoby suggested, mix it into a small container and see if you like it. imo it would look really nice

I've mixed the bright blue and black... I didn't like it. I wound up having to add more and more black to get the blue to blend in better. Eventually I added the black/purple mix you often see at WalMart, and it looked really good until the purple faded to white.

It DID look better than the plain bright blue, though.

Thats why you never buy gravel from walmart. Walmart gravel sucks... it fades bad!
