Black Diamonds
The darkest color sensation evident to the
eye and the mind. A non-spectral color the opposite of white, it
is also a neutral color lacking saturation yet having a
measurable range of lightness. Black is inherently dull in tone,
yet individual black colors can vary in tone, resulting in pale
(charcoal) black, dull (ink) black and bright (gun metal) black,
all having weak saturation. Popular names for different mixtures
of black are charcoal, gunmetal, ink, jet, midnight, onyx and
pitch.
