black paint

Darkest wall finish

Black paint is paint that absorbs nearly all visible light, producing the darkest color.

It's used for everything from art to automotive finishes to creating contrast in design.

Some specialized black paints, like Vantablack, absorb over 99% of light for scientific and artistic applications.

The trim needs a coat of black paint.
