Black Metals

There are naturally occurring metals that are black such as hematite that is a black iron oxide. Of pure metals that are commercially produced, wrought iron stands out as being a dark grey that approaches black color. There are also a number of alloys that are black such as cast iron. However, many metals that have a dark black color have a coating or plating. These can be extremely durable such as black oxide coatings that chemically bond with the metal.

Black Woods

Woods such as ebony and African blackwood are primarily black. Other black woods are a dark color or contain striking black patterns in their grain. Woods can also be black due to environmental conditions or treatment such as charring or smoking. For example, bog oak is oak wood that has been preserved and darkened over hundreds or thousands of years submerged in waterlogged environments such as bogs.
