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.
Synonyms and Related Terms
peach black; vegetable black; vine black; fruit stone black
