I HAVE A QUESTION NOW, what's the definition of black? something that doesn't reflect light or just something dark? is there something in the universe that absorbs 100% of the light it touches (except black holes)?

Black does not reflect any light. A surface is called a reflective black surface if it has practically no diffuse reflection but a small amount of specular reflection. If you illuminate it with a small light source it will appear mostly black but will show a dim image of the light source.

According to my google the darkest black we can see doesn't even have a name. Despite this, it has the ability to absorb 99.995% of light and has been used to cover a diamond worth 2 million dollars
