Pantone Black 6U (Rich Black)
« on: July 22, 2015, 07:49:18 PM »
This is listed on some current logo art.
Is this really black or more like a dark gray?  it doesn't look very rich to me even where it is 100%

I don't even have it in my book.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Hallmark likes it... its a dark grey in my opinion. Black is black.

Agreed... super dark grey is what we see when we print that too.

I use it when I need to do shadow work around black sometimes..... I call it a super rich grey... not black.
