Black

Is devoid of colour

There is no light available to see anything

When you add black to a paint colour you create a different value, as though it is in the shadows.

Colour/Hue - BLACK

(there is no colour as it does not reflect any light)

Tint is grey -add white

Lower value stays black- add shade/black

The perfect grey will have equal amounts of each primary colour.

When there is no light shining on an item it appears black.
