From what I observed, the Black is slightly darker. And the Special Black seems to have a slight warm undertone from the close up picture.
The differences are minimal at best. Having said that, it might be worth a consideration which marker to get to pair with your warm and cool gray Copic markers. Skip to main content. Your name. E-mail The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly.

Black is a cool black. Special Black is a warm black. The difference is only apparent when the inks are placed side by side. Because this is critical to understanding how your Copic Markers behave. Stains the paper or substrate rather than sitting on the surface.
Used in some inks for pens, markers, and calligraphy dip-pen inks. Also is a primary component of craft-grade and student-grade art supplies. The other drawback to dye is that a truly black dye does not exist.
There are many black pigments but if you want black dye, you have to mix a bunch of other colors to get it. Black dye really just an intense mixture of something blue plus something magenta with other colors thrown in for good luck. And the difference between and is all about the mixture. The heavy concentration of blue is why the black feels slightly cool in temperature. Black works very well with the C series of Cool Gray Copics.
The blue notes are most noticeable when you single-coat the area with just one layer of ink. There is a slightly pinkish sheen to Special Black if viewed wet, under a lamp, with the paper tilted at an angle. The warmth is much less obvious when the ink is dry. The warm notes are most noticeable when wet. You have to place the colors side by side in order to really see the distinction.
I always use one or the other, never both. Side by side, looks a little cooler. Side by side, looks a little warmer. Color temperature is important to the human eye and brain. We use subtle shifts in color temperature to gauge distance and depth. Cool colors recede. As objects get farther away from us, they appear more muted and generally cooler.
Warm colors feel closer. Objects that are close to us feel more saturated and generally warmer. Blues with green in them simply do not recede the way blues with red in them do. If you buy a boxed set, use the black which comes in the set. Black or Special Black , either will work.
If the object you color is a living thing, use warm gray. Warm grays add life. If the object you color is not living, use a cool gray. What about a blue whale? What about an antique silver spoon? And please tell me, is a wooden table alive or dead? I know. I was born to poke holes in dumb rules. It could be something like: Use Black with cool grays but switch to Special Black when using warm?
And if so, what black should we use with the neutral grays? It belongs to the the print industry. Commercial artists, on the other hand, do not sell original marker art; we make art and illustrations for print media.
Everything we draw is designed to be photographed or scanned, then printed for mass distribution. Cameras and scanners are different than the human eye. Mechanical lenses sense color differently. Back in the dinosaur days when we did everything by hand, we needed stuff like that. Confession time. The Home Run project you see here?
