Looking for g1/4 matte black tubing.

Google doesn't seem to be my friend today. Maybe that's because there's no such thing as a soft/pliable/kink free piece of tubing for my rig.
 
...g1/4 matte black tubing

That doesn't make sense G 1/4" is a thread, you buy tubing in OD/ID such as 16/10mm or 5/8" ID 3/8" OD in imperial units. You need to buy the correct size fittings for the tube or the other way around.

If your after matte black then I would advise you take a look at EK-ZMT and I think you'll find that is exactly what you are after.

To expand on this OP, the G1/4 is the thread on the fitting, the actual part that screws into the blocks. The tubing is on the other end of the fitting where the tubing goes on the barb or into the compression fitting. The tubing is measured with ID/OD which would be based off the fitting size you intend to use. Now as an example:)
CPU block uses a G 1/4 thread, you then get a G1/4 fitting to fit into the block, then the tubing size on the fitting is ID 3/8", then you fit the tubing with ID 3/8" onto the fitting and it will fit on there. That's it.. you now have a connection between the block and the tubing/hose:)
 
Is it a new water cooling setup? as far as I can see the different sizes of tubing are (3/8 - 1/2) 13/10mm, (3/8 -5/8) 16/10mm, (7/16 - 5/8) 16/11mm and (1/2 - 3/4) 19/13mm those are the flexible tubing sizes available on OCUK
