The person in the picture is holding a real ball, covered with Vantablack S-VIS图中人手中拿着一枚喷涂了Vantablack S-VIS颜料的球

Finally, I can paint my surroundings to reflect my dark soul.我终于能将自己黑暗的灵魂，赋予画笔之下的周遭事物了！

British artist Stuart Semple has developed a batch of super-black paint that’s also affordable and easily accessible for every artist!英国艺术家斯图尔特·森普尔发明了一种巨黑无比的颜料，这种颜料不仅价格低廉，还方便获取。

You might recall Surrey NanoSystems’ “world’s blackest color” pigment Vantablack which is regarded as the blackest material in the world, but it costs a lot, users outside the UK require a government export license, and it smells like chemicals.也许你会想到萨里纳米系统公司（Surrey NanoSystems）研发的“世界最黑颜料”垂直排列纳米管阵列（Vantablack，全称Vertically Aligned Nano Tube Arrays），这种颜料不仅花费高，英国境外用户须得到政府的出口许可证才能所使用，还有浓烈的化学物质味道。

Stuart, however, [w=collaborate]collaborated with thousands of artists around the globe to create BLACK 2.0, an abysmally dark acrylic paint that smells like cherries and can be shipped to anyone anywhere.然而，斯图尔特携手数千名世界各地的艺术家，共同打造出的这款黑到飞起的丙烯颜料 — BLACK 2.0，不但拥有近似樱桃的气味，而且运送方便，人人可得。

“With just one coat almost any object (even really shiny ones) become super-black and reflect next to no light, giving a fantastic black hole type effect.”“任何物体（发光的也不例外）只需抹上一层（BLACK 2.0），就能轻松达到“黑洞”效果 — 黑到无法反射一丝光线。”

The paint is non-toxic and one pop of 150ml (about 5 oz) will cost you around $15.此款颜料系无毒颜料，150毫升（约5盎司）价格大概为15美元。

It’s called BLACK 2.0, and Stuart calls it “simply the best flat, matt, black paint on the planet”它名叫"BLACK 2.0",斯图尔特称它为"地球上最黑暗的颜料"

Its unique acrylic co-polymer binder enables more pigment load than any other acrylic paint.它所含有的一种特殊丙烯酸共聚物粘合剂，使之较其它丙烯颜料能够着色更深。
