What is what color is ebony?

Ebony is typically a very dark, almost black color. It is named after the dark, dense heartwood of various trees in the Diospyros genus, most notably ebony wood. While generally associated with black, some varieties of ebony wood can have streaks of brown or grey. Therefore, while the term "ebony" is primarily used to describe the color black, it can occasionally encompass very dark shades of brown or grey as well. The key characteristic is its extreme darkness and richness, emulating the look of polished ebony.
