Very cool, but im skeptical about cost
With less than 300 grams of paint per square meter and a pigment made from cheap ingredients, it is unlikely to be more expensive than titanium white, but obviously this will be true only if it will be produced in large enough quantities.

You could try buying some and find out! https://culturehustle.com/products/black-v1-0-beta-the-world... You could also mix it with the 'whitest white' https://culturehustle.com/products/white-20
Many years ago I bought some of the black 2.0 on a lark, and honestly both brush and air brushing seemed to produce very meh results. Like nothing that to me indicated any significant difference in matteness vs many other paints I’ve used. Now I realize I didn’t try applying it to actual glass or anything, but even on polished resin it didn’t stand out as meaningfully different. Vanta black is a whole different beast…
Still an amazing product for all sorts of art, but also for building telescopes or photography hardware.

In my experience black 2.0 is pretty dang black, but it's not nearly as black as the marketing photos make it seem. It's still plainly visible in daylight. It's a structural black too, so in general touching it will make it more gray. Still an amazing product for all sorts of art, but also for building telescopes or photography hardware.
