    Peach Stone Black

    Pigment Description

    A specific carbon black which is hard to find in paints. Some have listed peach stone black as PBk8 (vine black) as it is a carbon black from vegetable matter. Neither peach black made by large oil paint makers contain peach stones. One is a version of carbon black with some indanthrone blue, and the other combines lamp black PBk6 with some aniline PBk1.
