As Vantablack is composed of carbon nanotubes that absorb exceptionally high levels of visible light, it is widely considered one of the darkest pigments created. When applied to three-dimensional objects, Vantablack produces the appearance of a two-dimensional surface or void space.
Shakudō (赤銅) is a Japanese billon of gold and copper (typically 4–10% gold, 96–90% copper), one of the irogane class of colored metals, which can be treated to develop a black, or sometimes indigo, patina, resembling lacquer.
Lead pigments. Naples yellow (PY41). Lead-tin-yellow: PbSnO 4 or Pb(Sn,Si)O 3. Titanium pigments. Titanium yellow (PY53): NiO·Sb 2 O 3 ·20TiO 2; Tin pigments. Mosaic gold: stannic sulfide (SnS 2). Zinc pigments. Zinc yellow (PY36): zinc chromate (ZnCrO 4), a highly toxic substance with anti-corrosive properties which was historically most ...

Brown or black can be used as a base color for copper patina. If the amount of chlorides decreases the color will be more bluish-green, if carbonate decreases, more yellow-[27] Black for copper. Solution of sodium polysulfide 2.5%, items must be submerged in the solution after color developing, wash, dry and wax or varnish colored object. [28]
cathode made of platinum or stainless steel (needle), anode nickel-plated or gold-plated copper or brass or polished steel, duration 10 s, distance between cathode and anode 3 mm . [20] An electrolyte of 100 g of litharge dissolved in 0.5 l of water can also be used in which 100 g of NaOH is dissolved.
Worker at carbon black plant, 1942. Carbon black (with subtypes acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black and thermal black) is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of coal tar, vegetable matter, or petroleum products, including fuel oil, fluid catalytic cracking tar, and ethylene cracking in a limited supply of air.
Kashira made of dark-finished shibuichi, with gold highlights. Shibuichi (四分一) is a historically Japanese copper alloy, a member of the irogane class, which is patinated into a range of subtle greys and muted shades of blue, green, and brown, through the use of niiro processes, involving the rokushō compound.
