It does have a silver/grey tint to it in “normal” light but illuminated by the light coming off the screen it seems to have a little bit less sheen than the old black oak.

I noticed the same thing with my curtains when I got the samples. The darkest looking one in normal light was actually the most reflective in projector light. Luckily the least expensive actually had the lowest sheen to it.
