A purple-based black
 
Once used to describe the intense black of a starless night in Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood, Bible Black is an inky violet shade that adds richness and depth to any feature, inside or out. Like the slightly stronger Paean Black, it is very popular for front doors, especially in Full Gloss.
