2. Vantablack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack

   When light strikes Vantablack, instead of bouncing off, it becomes trapped and continually deflected amongst the tubes, absorbed, and eventually dissipated as heat. [24] CVD Vantablack was an improvement over similar substances developed at the time. Vantablack absorbs up to 99.965% of visible light and can be created at 400 °C (752 °F).

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. Selective surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_surface

   Although ordinary black paint has high solar absorption, it also has high thermal emissivity, and thus it is not a selective surface. Typical values for a selective surface might be 0.90 solar absorption and 0.10 thermal emissivity, but can range from 0.8/0.3 for paints on metal to 0.96/0.05 for commercial surfaces.

5. Luminous paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_paint

   The fluorescent chemicals in fluorescent paint absorb the invisible UV radiation, then emit the energy as longer wavelength visible light of a particular color. Human eyes perceive this light as the unusual 'glow' of fluorescence. The painted surface also reflects any ordinary visible light striking it, which tends to wash out the dim ...

6. Lightfastness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightfastness

   Lightfastness is a property of a colourant such as dye or pigment that describes its resistance to fading when exposed to light. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Dyes and pigments are used for example for dyeing of fabrics , plastics or other materials and manufacturing paints or printing inks .
