Description

A carbon black pigment obtained by charring the pits from peaches 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.
