Description
A carbon black pigment obtained by charring the pits from peaches, dates or cherries and later from nut shells such as walnut, almond or coconut. The deep blue-black color was recommended for watercolor paints in the early 17th century. Vegetable blacks were rarely used in oil painting due to very slow drying times.
Synonyms and Related Terms
