Color Comparisons
Comparing Carbon Black to Mars Black
The top colour is Carbon Black which is a very strong pigment and is also very neutral as we can observe when it is used to mix greys or thinned out as a glaze. Mars Black is somewhat weaker in tinting power and has a distinctly warm undertone which can be seen in the tints, and although it is classified as an opaque pigment, as you can see from the sample you can glaze with it.
