matte surface
Non-reflective coating texture
A matte surface lacks shine or gloss, absorbing rather than reflecting light.
The term appears in photography, painting, and product design to describe finishes that don't produce glare or reflections: a matte surface hides fingerprints better than glossy.
Matte surfaces tend to look softer and more subdued than their shiny counterparts.
