English term or phrase: self weave
You get a different texture, like if you get a woven silk and it’s got a self weave in it, it’s not just a flat color, you’ve got a bit of light and depth to it. Because of the nature of V, he’s all black, I had to find a way of making each item slightly different texturally so you could really see each thing so it didn’t look like a black void. So in actual fact his cloak, although it looks black, is actually charcoal gray. It’s got little white flecks in it and it’s got a slight hairy texture to it so it lights different than the doublet, and then the trousers are a wool fabric with a self stripe diagonally in it. So each piece is different. And then his hat is called peach blue, which is a type of capeline, like a felt, and then leather for the boots. So every piece, although it’s black or almost black, looks different.

relief(s)

Explanation:
en opposition au reflet (sur surface plane), le relief exprime plus la texture. Simple suggestion.
