Ultimate Sophistication: ktCOLOR's Black Shades for Your Designs

ktCOLOR's black paints are a class apart, crafted with natural pigments like volcanic ash to deliver unparalleled depth, richness, and sustainability. For authoritative designs of great elegance, these exceptional hues with a velvety, luxurious finish are the gold standard. For designs both subtle and bold, understated yet impactful, there is no better selection than the 16 ktCOLOR blacks.

A colorful black, notable for the lucid green that infuses it.

In seventeenth-century painting, darkness as the source that gives presence to light experienced a renaissance. In 1646, Jesuit pastor Athanasius Kircher wrote that obscuritas, umbra and umbratio (obscurity, the shadow and darkness) should not be understood as the lack of light, but rather as independent, positive qualities. Green black 85 illustrates this nicely. Blending velvety ivory black with the green pigment most stable in the shadows – ultramarine green – leads to this color, which is as fascinating in well-lit spaces as it is under dim lighting.
