When it comes to tactical style, Cerakote isn’t just about durability — it’s a statement. At Raven Eight Tactical, we’ve seen what’s trending, what’s timeless, and what turns heads at the range. Here are the Top 5 Cerakote colors for 2025 that are dominating builds across the country.
🥇 1. FX Liberty Gold
Bold, bright, and unapologetic. FX Liberty Gold adds instant impact to any black or OD-based build. Perfect for custom text, logos, and full-coverage highlights. Our AR-15 Liberty build? This was the game changer.
🥈 2. Armor Black
Still undefeated. Armor Black remains the most-used base in Cerakote for a reason — ultra clean, mission-ready, and goes with everything. If you want the “black rifle” look done right, this is your go-to.
🥉 3. Burnt Bronze
Warm and aggressive, Burnt Bronze continues to hit heavy across everything from slide work to full-length rifle coatings. Battle-worn or clean — it plays both ways.
🏅 4. Stormtrooper White
Whether you’re building a snow-camo rig or want something unique and clean, Stormtrooper White is climbing fast. Pair it with red accents for a build that breaks all the rules.
🎯 5. Magpul Flat Dark Earth (FDE)
The classic. FDE still shows up strong in tactical builds, especially paired with OD Green or custom stenciling. It’s military-proven and looks even better with some wear on it.
