dye request - spriggan black

[Gemina]

I see you did science in school, not art. Black is a colour when you are painting or using dye, to obtain it you need to mix all the three primaries. A little less of one of the three primaries gives a "shade of black" like onyx or licorice.

As the request is for a dye... black will be a colour, and it can have shades.

(artistically, bumpmap and specular on armour is going to make the purest black nigh on hard/impossible to be standard - it will work on some things, not others).

Well yeah, I can actually use science. With science you learn that the color spectrum is far more vast than what the human eye is capable of perceiving, and color can exist where we normally would see nothing but black, but I digress. It was in art class that I was taught how black is used and how to create it, and it was in science that I learned that black is either devoid of color and light, or it completely absorbs both. In other words, if you can 'see' a shade of black, you're not seeing black at all. Black is what the eye interprets when there is no color, or no light to reflect it.

So yeah, grey. Or is it gray? hmmm
