blackest
Deepest shade possible
Blackest is the superlative of black—the darkest possible, absorbing the most light.
It describes the extreme end of the spectrum: the blackest night, the blackest coal.
Figuratively, blackest intensifies moral or emotional darkness: his blackest thoughts, the blackest chapter in the nation's history, blackest despair.
