   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack

   The name is a portmanteau of the acronym VANTA (vertically aligned nanotube arrays) [5] and black. The original Vantablack coating was grown from a chemical vapour deposition process (CVD) and is claimed to be the "world's darkest material" absorbing up to 99.965% of visible light measured perpendicular to the material.

3. Super black - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_black

   Super black is a surface treatment developed at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the United Kingdom. It absorbs approximately 99.6% of visible light at normal incidence, while conventional black paint absorbs about 97.5%. At other angles of incidence, super black is even more effective: at an angle of 45°, it absorbs 99.9% of light.

4. Paint sheen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_sheen

   The sheen [4] or gloss level of a paint is principally determined by the ratio of resinous, adhesive binder, which solidifies after drying, and solid, powdery pigment.The more binder the coating contains, the more regular reflection will be made from its smooth surface; conversely, with less binder, grains of pigment become exposed to the surface, scattering the light and providing matte ...

   Ultra-black is one of the darkest shades of the color black.An ultra-black substance is defined as reflecting less than 0.5% of the light that hits its surface. [1] This color is part of the natural coloration of some species of birds-of-paradise, butterflies, and fishes, and ultra-black components are used in telescopes, cameras, and solar panels to improve the efficiency of light capture.
