Ultra Pro is the brand, Eclipse is the type, Matte is the finish, and Smoke Grey is the color. The color is good, it just doesn't stand out when on a playmat to make for easy cleanup. I've only sleeved Magic cards with these. Here's a link to the direct website...

Appreciate the feedback. Thank you both.
