Natural Matte®: Carbon

Sleek and ageless, rich blacks form the cornerstone of modern building design. The unwanted shine of some finishes can contrast with the depth of black to create incongruent design elements.

The delicate light interaction of Natural Matte, in concert with the depth of the Carbon, creates a commanding deep black in all lighting environments-eliminating unwanted shine and glare.
