I've had great luck with the included silver-gray
The https://www.ultimaker.com/products/pla-blue is so shiny..I've had a few good prints with it but there's something to be said for a more subtle color!

I've found optimal print temperatures can vary a lot.
I'm currently experimenting with the Ultimaker Bronze PLA filament. So far it seems that 200°C is the best temperature (at 50 mm/s print speed, 0,1mm layer height). Might even go lower than that. Anything over 210°C produces really ugly prints.
However, for the Ultimate Blue PLA (the light blue one) needs to be printed at 220°-230°.
What temperature did you set for the bed with the Ultimaker Bronze PLA ?
For the moment I tried 210°C/75°C, 210°C/65°C, 205°C/60°C. I've got my best results with the last test but I didn't go lower.

I'm using the Ultimaker Original that doesn't have a heated bed (yet). But I found that the filament sticks extremely well to the unheated bed. It was quite difficult to remove it, something I hadn't experienced before.
I started with ultimaker bronze. It wasn't great in my opinion, it made the print lines and grooves really obvious and wasn't great at overhangs.
I've just finished up a spool of blue which I would recommend, I've got some great finishes with this colour.
Starting on a yellow now which looks very promising, I also have a white to try once I've finished this one.
I'll definitely give that silver grey a go, it looks gorgeous! thanks for sharing!

This was a very nice print imo. I like it, good quality and fine details.
