My research suggests that it won't have any peach tone to it -- the name comes, rather, from how the pigment is made: "Peach black is a matte, silky black pigment made by heating peach stones to produce carbon black. "
Really? That's so cool! It definitely produces a lovely carbon black. I use so many pigments that split into other colors that it didn't occur to me that the name may mean something else. Thanks for the info!
I see it in my still photo from my lighting, but I have trouble seeing it on my paper in person. I'm going to be attending a workshop in February that uses black watercolor, so I'm going to see if I see things differently with those techniques.
I recently got Holbein's lamp black (PBk6). Lovely dark, matte, non granulating. Reminds me of black ink...
That sounds lovely! I only recently started getting black paints, and it’s so cool seeing the differences between them.
@ValerieEnglehart so did I. I think some can substitute for neutral tint - non granulating ones

From my view, I see peach

@ValerieEnglehart I can't wait to hear about it. 😁
