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.

Profoundly deep: the blackest black in nature.

“Black was a sacred color for the Abstract Expressionists, it was their lapis lazuli; they made a mystique of it, partly perhaps because of its austerity, partly perhaps because there was something macho in being able to produce a good strong black.” The black they celebrated was, in fact, ivory black, the black also preferred by Rembrandt, Manet and Le Corbusier. The pigment is made by charring animal bones, and it is extraordinarily fine. The astonishingly deep colors made with it look rich, like jet-black velvet.
