jet-black
Dark as coal
Jet-black is the deepest, most intense black—black without any hint of lighter tones.
The term comes from jet, a hard black gemstone used in jewelry.
It typically describes hair or eyes: her jet-black hair gleamed in the light.
The compound emphasizes darkness beyond ordinary black.
