Имена на цветове

Черният е най-тъмния цвят, като тук думата цвят се използва условно, тъй като по дефиниция черното е ахроматично, тоест липса на цвят. Физически погледнато черното е пълна липса, когато говорим за светлинни източници или цялостно поглъщане, когато става въпрос за осветени обекти на светлината по целия диапазон на видимия спектър. Като цвят е противоположно на бялото и често представлява тъмното в контраст със светлината. Що се отнася до човешкото възприятие черното е относително и често при обект попаднал в ниския край на динамичния обхват на човешкото зрение, например предмет в много силна сянка, много тъмни цветове могат да се възприемат грешно за черни, а при по-добра осветеност те да са със собствен цвят.В изобразителното изкуство е един от двата основни ахроматични цветове заедно с бялото. От черното се произвеждат множество сложни вторични цветове, като при смесването му с основните има способността да ги затъмнява. В съчетание с другия основен неутрален цвят - бялото, се образува и единствения неутрален вторичен цвят - сиво.

The pigment was made from the flesh of mummies mixed with white pitch and myrrh. Mummy brown was extremely popular from the mid-eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries. However, fresh supplies of mummies diminished, and artists were less satisfied with the pigment's permanency and finish. By 1915, demand had significantly declined.

Smoky black has been mistaken for faded black, dark bay or brown, grullo or even liver chestnut.
