Short History of Black Pigments. Carbon black was the first black. This dull black is the easiest to manufacture because it is made of charcoal. Another black is vine black, which is traditionally made by charring desiccated grape vines and stems, which produce beautiful bluish blacks. Bone black, made of burnt bones from prehistoric times, is the deepest available black.

If a pigment is illuminated with white light, the color we see is the color most reflected or transmitted by the pigment.(If a pigment absorbs all wavelengths, it appears black).ifferent pigments absorb light of different wavelengths, and the wavelengths that are absorbed disappear.
