What shades of black are there?
Even if you might find it hard to believe - there are different nuances and undertones in black. Because depending on the intensity of the black colour shade, various other colour shades can mix in.
What nuances are there?
Black wall paint comes in different shades.
The deep black that first comes to mind is a cool colour shade. Pure blacks include Black with Black by MissPompadour, Downing Street by Mylands and Soft Black by Painting the Past.

In addition, there is a blue-black, which is a slightly lighter colour shade that shows a blue shimmer under certain lighting conditions. A typical example of this colour shade is Blue with Ink by MissPompadour or Sinner by Mylands.
The same applies to green, which, when mixed with black, forms an interesting colour that changes depending on the light and appears subliminally green. Green with Black by MissPompadour or Blackout by Mylands belong to this shade.

If you like it even lighter and softer, choose anthracite instead. This is a very lightened black - depending on how you look at it, it can also be considered a dark grey. For this, go for Black with Slate by MissPompadour, Sinner by Mylands or Graphite by Painting the Past. If you're looking for a soft black with a little grey, the colour shade Black with Velvet by MissPompadour might be your favourite.
How does a black wall look?
At first, the thought of a black wall can seem gloomy. But black wall paint can have a really great effect, depending on the room concept. For example, decorate in front of your black wall with gold objects to brighten up the wall and create a classy effect.
For which rooms is black suitable?
Black wall paint is recommended for individual walls rather than entire rooms, as otherwise the room can quickly appear too dark.
Black wall paint fits particularly well as an accent in the following rooms:
Black wall paint fits particularly well as an accent in the following rooms:
- in the living room, for example behind the couch
- as a special wall in a teenager's room
- in the bedroom, behind the bed, decorated with lamps or fairy lights
- as a spice wall in the kitchen
If you paint a wall in the living room, e.g. in Black with Velvet, you can create a sophisticated atmosphere with the right accessories. Golden and coloured accents are accentuated even more. Use black wall paint in the living room to accentuate picture frames and works of art on your walls. It's not for nothing that galleries are often painted in dark, neutral colours. But a black wall is also almost a must-have for fans of industrial chic.
With the right decoration, black wall paint also looks stylish and elegant in the bedroom. As a contrast to the accent wall, paint the rest of the walls in a warm cream shade to feel really comfortable
Black walls are also often desired in a teenager's room. These perhaps first signs of rebellion may seem off-putting to parents at first, but don't worry, if you use the black accent wall correctly, not only your child will be happy about it. If another colour becomes the favourite later on, you can paint over the black wall paint
Black is a great colour for furniture in the kitchen, because kitchen cabinets painted black look modern and very elegant. However, black wall paint in the kitchen also creates an unusual and elegant effect on the walls
With a black guest toilet, you definitely make a statement and create a stylish atmosphere. Silk-matt black varnishes bring fashionable elegance to the small room without being constricting. Especially if you paint your plastered walls in petrol to match the black-painted tiles .

Living styles and trends in black tones
Black can be found in its nuances in many styles of living. Black is indispensable in Modern Style, which is characterised by straight lines and restrained, rather achromatic colours. Black also plays a leading role in Industrial Style, which is inspired by factory halls and lofts - whether as a single element, such as a table frame, or as a wall paint. In the playful Whimsical Style, a black wall can provide the perfect setting for all golden, glittery and fairytale elements. In the Glamour Style, too, black provides an ideal base for extravagant metallic shine and the glamorous velvet elements.
Which colour shades go with black?
Since black is a neutral colour, you can combine it with almost anything. If you like it purist or minimalist, you can combine it with grey and beige tones. If you prefer strong colours, you can place furniture painted in petrol, dark green, Bordeaux red or mustard yellow in front of the black wall. If you like it luxurious and noble, add golden accents.
But black can also be painted almost tone-in-tone. Paint your walls in a warm, light grey wall paint and use a pure black as an accent colour. A piece of furniture painted black also looks very elegant against a grey wall. Use a black wood varnish in matt to achieve a subtle effect.
If you want your wall design to be more eye-catching, the black varnish with gloss isparticularly suitable.
