I'm asking for a list of objects or things. Please don't say people, that's not the kind of answer I'm looking for. I'll start.
Coal
Onyx
Oil
Tar
Kinda get the drift? I'm looking to plump up the book I'm writing with descriptives, and I need more words to describe black.

The absence of light. Deep space, back side of the moon. Just a little different frame of thinking... ??

What is this black object that you are describing? It makes a difference in the kind of words that you can use to describe it. I hate it when I'm reading a book and the author has used the same words through the whole story to describe something or refer to a thing/person.

Black as pitch
Dark as night
Blacker than the darkest heart
Black as jet
Black as burnt french-fries
Blacker than an insane mind
Black as death
Black as the first vinyl record he ever bought
Black as Satan's drawers
Black as charcoal
Darker than the deepest chasm
Black as boot-polish
Black as pooling ink
Darker than the blackest black thing...
starting to run out of improv. sorry.

Black is the total absence of light (colors) The opposite of black is white, which is a totality of all colors
