Would this thing look different in person? Can the blackness of it be conveyed by my phone’s digital screen? If so, can we make an even blacker digital black?

- kzrdude 7y agoYeah, this thing is blacker than anything your screen can do, including being off, of course.
- ivl 7y ago> Can the blackness of it be conveyed by my phone’s digital screen? I wouldn't think so. If I understand these paints right they're basically designed to trap light that hits them, made of carbon nano-tubes. In person they seem to be completely without texture. Today's OLED phones get much darker blacks than the older LCD ones, but they're still not even perfect.

- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI really wanted to see that on the road - it's one thing to see it on the set, but I imagine it's even more surreal when it's interacting with a bunch of different light-sources.
