Is ebony darker than black?

Question

I have a t-shirt that says, "I will keep wearing black until God creates a darker color". I was told that ebony was darker than black. Is that true?

Answer 1

I believe ebony is black, possibly just another name for it....And I think Black is the absence of color. JUst threw that in there for extra I guess.
Lord Bless You!

Answer 2

Dark Black Ebony

Answer 3

By definition, no. Black is the absence of light. If there is a darker color, God has probably already created it. Perhaps a black hole would qualify.

Ebony is a very dark wood, but any specimen of ebony will reflect some light, unless it is stained or otherwise treated.

Answer 4

The darkest you can get is a black hole, where light can't even escape, much less reflect. Every other object and color reflects *something* even if it is minuscule, including ebony. In fact, nothing except a black hole should technically fit the definition of black, which is an absence of color. But, we need a name for it. So I would say that black is as dark as you can get.

Answer 5

Ebony black is darker.

Answer 6

Ebony isn't really black. Ebony is a dark, dark brown.

Black is as black as you can get. It is the absence of light.

Answer 7

someone correct me if im wrong but i think they use ebony as a more fancy word instead of just saying black

Answer 8

black is as dark as you can get, seeing as black is a complete absence of light.
