## Visual Elements


Ebony skin, a deep, rich, dark brown to near-black shade. Intense brown with cool/neutral undertones.

## Cultural Context

Ebony refers to the dense tropical hardwood prized across African, South Asian, and Southeast Asian cultures for its deep, near-black coloration. The wood has long been associated with craftsmanship and musical instruments, from African sculpture to piano keys. As a skin tone, ebony describes a rich, deep brown-to-black complexion with cool or neutral undertones.

## Justification

The deepest tone in the collection, ebony's cool undertones distinguish it from warmer dark shades and connect to the Chicago Detroit lineage through its association with musical instruments.
