For anybody interested:<br />https://culturehustle.com/collections/potions/products/black-v1-0-beta-the-world-s-mattest-flattest-blackest-art-material<br /><br />Will treat myself to this (and the other colours) as a birthday present :D <br /><br />PS: My partner and me wondered how confusing for your senses it would be to be in a sound isolated (like a music studio in which you can't hear an echo of your voice) room which is painted with Vantablack.

It's just like in the picture, 100% black.<br /><br />I would love to see how it looks when they make a painting with it, and not just an square on a small piece of reflective aluminium.

The photo just looks like someone marked it out in photoshop. I can only imagine how that would look in person.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262476114387821096noreply@blogger.com
