Scope of use

Interior/exterior paint

Colour theory is an amazing thing, full of brain-twisting facts. For example, we talk a lot about light's effects on colour, but colour itself is reflected light. And since the colours we see are missing the hue's light waves, we think we're looking at them. This also means that what we collectively call 'black' is actually the absence of all colours – though not completely, at least in the world of paint.

Resene Group Technical Manager Mike Clowes says a paint colour can only be classified as black if it reflects less than 1% of incident light. His team formulated an even blacker than Resene Black, the colour that specifiers would previously turn to when only the darkest would do. As it turns out, shaving down that last percentage is tricky.

Performance

Resene Blackest Black is ideal for a media room, as it is jetter and thus absorbs more light than other colours.
