Ivory Black: A good, all-purpose black that’s a solid choice
for mixing greys, tinting, and mixing with other colours. Slightly warm in its
transparency with a weak tinting strength. Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a
slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any
colour and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good
properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be
used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black. Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence,
though it is considered the least permanent of the primary black pigments. Ivory Black has no significant hazards. Ivory Black is a carbon-based black first named Elephantium
and was described in the 4th century BCE as being produced by heating
ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The
deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were
made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bones. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was
finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone.
Genuine Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and
the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is
created as an industrial pigment.Gamblin 1980 Oils - PBk9 Ivory Black
