Hey What's your car colour? What colour are you considering for your car? And then the answer came . Some like colour with maximum wavelength RED , a colour which can easily make people turn head while you are on your way to lead the world, some like white coloured car its for subtle nature, some say yellow looks amazing . The colour combination for our eye is uncountable and the way companies are learning the new paint technologies , there is a lot in the show to still wait for , but one colour that can easily split opinion is the colour BLACK. Now, the real question comes How much Black?
Glossy black , matt black , etc people say wit glitter in their eyes when asked about their car colour , a colour that can absorb light or shall we say maximum light coming compared yo other colours and then making any black coloured object look a scintillating piece of art. Considering the black colour on moving machine is a different shivering feel altogether. Coming back to the question, How much Black?
Well BMW has showcased its VANTABLACK X6 which is the blackest car in the world. The car is not expected to run on assembly line . X6 seriously? A car that is pretty much known for its coupe like design and curves all over the body, black will not highlight the true potential of the car, But looking at the car and the story is completely different again. Only the lights and the BMEs light grille can make you realise it is some sort of a car. Painted in darkest pigment VANTABLACK, a pigment that uses carbon nanotubes and can absorb upto 99.65% light making it undefinable to express when painted on a familiar moving machine. Yes, black is the most accident prone colour due to visibilty issues as explained by many research Institutes but it is the status, the charm this colour carries and make the human want it like a wine. BMW has even glorified this colour which can make many car enthusiasts and car collectors to have one in tbeir garage . But BMW has confirmed that this car will not be going out in for production. It was a part of Research by the company to analyze the true potential of VANTABLACK and also see the changes it can make to the current automobile features and give more comfortable ride by looking at its applications.
