Its name is Black Oxide, but in practice it is a very nice shade of a very dark gray. One of the most beautiful colors I have used. Great coverage even if you thin it out (no need to thin it out). It says that you don't need to prime the surfaces you will paint, but always prefer to apply a thin layer of primer on whatever you are painting. It provides durability and longevity. I usually apply this color with 1-2 coats of matte varnish and it gives an amazing result.
