Also worth noting is that vanta black takes a lot of work to apply while black 2.0 works like a normal color

[singingsiren]

Theres also the fact that Black now has Black 2.0 and has a specific requirement that it says anyone can buy it except for Anish Kapoor. Their website specifically says: "*Note: By adding this product to your cart you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated to Anish Kapoor, you are not purchasing this item on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information and belief this material will not make it's way into the hands of Anish Kapoor."

This man took the word selfish to a whole new level

[mladenmatosevic]

If you park Ventablack painted car in Mediterranean sun, it can double as oven roasting food.

MIT: "Stop fighting, that's stupid. Everyone, check under your seats."

[daedalus]

You shouldn’t even be allowed to own a color. I’ve seen corporations copyright the color orange, pink, and I’ve seen celebrities copyright poses and even sayings and catchphrases. This justice system is fucked

[howdecor]

Artists who try to block other artists opportunity of expression should be BLACKLISTED

[regulusmasamuneryuku]

Okay, but the Anish Kooper and Stuart Semple story is sooo much longer than this. And extremely hilarious. Highly recommend looking into it.

[saltersstuff]

That company really shot itself in the foot with that one guy

[BakkuIa]

If you claim artistic ownership of a color/paint, then you are not an artist.

[Moth]

Imagine being such an art snob that you literally buy the blackest black and don't let anyone else use it

[dumbledwarf]

I find it so fascinating, the blackest black, because you can’t see photos of it, because it won’t show it’s real ‘colour’. You have to see it in person to actually see it, which is just so fascinating

[CorinnaAtHome]

I love that everyone collective came together to say fuck that one guy

[Kevin-jbpv]

Never seen a company shoot itself in the foot so fast before.

[ripleycastle]

“I’m a terrible artist, how do I make it so better artists can’t ever be more creative than me with something I like?” That guy, probably.

[boahneelassmal]

you didn't mention the best part about Stewart's colour set:
He also ade the pinkest pink and made it available to everybody except Vanish

[Zei]

I love that academics always make things open source. Knowledge is power and the universities are empowering the people.

[vmwindustries]

Good to hear that the Artist that tried to have a color all to himself has been taken out of the picture.

[nevermindmeijustinjectedaw]

imagine trying to monopolise a color...or anything, for that matter
human ingenuity cannot be stopped by mere words

[nunuonroad]

Owwning rights to a color is the most comic super villain shit I’ve ever heard
