| I’ve close to completing a build where I have use the rubber black colour for
some parts. Even basic 1x2 plates show as available. I was told by a friend that
this is in fact not true and the rubber black is not available for parts outside
of tyres, bands and a few technic parts. I also notice rubber black is not listed
in the colour guide on the website (nor is metallic black).
Just wondering if I something set wrong on my version of Stud.Io. I do update
when patches come up on loading up the program.
Any advice or help gratefully received.
Cheers
Ben

The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one.
There’s an index of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
As for your particular question:
— on the catalogue side, BrickLink doesn’t care about material, so tyres are
Black, not Rubber Black,
— on Studio’s side, when you render your MOC, you generally want your parts to
look realistic, and shiny and solid black tyres are not what you want, so Studio
has rubber colours.
When Studio “asks” the catalogue in what colours a part is available, the catalogue
answers “Black,” but the part may be a tyre or a rubber band or whatever that
looks more rubber than ABS, so it may be better rendered as “Rubber Black,” but
Studio can’t know (or it would need to double the catalogue). So Black and Rubber
mean the same thing in matter of price, availability, and uploading to a Wanted
List, they are only different in renders.
