Ivory Black

PBk9 – Semi-opaque

Ivory black is a classic, deep, and slightly warm pigment, traditionally obtained by the calcination of bone. Highly covering, lightfast, and gentle in mixtures, it is ideal for shadows, deep backgrounds, and strong contrasts. Its smooth texture and neutral-to-warm tone make it a versatile black, appreciated in both portrait and landscape painting.

Easy to modulate with warm or cool colors, it remains a staple of traditional palettes.
