The blackest black paint ever

@unsound

I've seen examples of cars painted this way and it is scary, just like you mentioned.  Since this black is tuned for visible light, not sure how well it does outside that spectrum.

What all these articles have in common is that while the reflected color spectrum may be the same across all true blacks, the total amount of reflected light is NOT.

What we called black in 2010 still had quite a bit of light reflectivity compared to the latest stealth blacks.

Sorry, I posted the same link twice. What I meant to post was a 2019 article about MIT’s own research into the subject:

Man, people would rather knee jerk than read:

This is not your standard coatings industry black, because the black you thought was black in 2010 is not actually black enough. Please read and enjoy.

Further, others are trying to get even blacker
