brushed metal
Matte industrial finish
Brushed metal is metal that has been abraded to create fine parallel lines on its surface, giving it a matte, textured appearance rather than a mirror finish.
Common in appliances, watches, and architectural hardware: The refrigerator has a brushed metal finish.
The texture hides fingerprints and scratches better than polished surfaces.
In digital design, brushed metal refers to interface elements mimicking this look.
