Description

An unstandardized name that has been used for vine black and charcoal black. Vegetable blacks, in general, were made by collecting the soot from burned vegetable oils or or the charred residue from plant materials (nut shells,, fruit pits, wood, vines, etc.). They have a larger particle size than carbon black and thus poorer tinting strength.

See also lampblack.
