It was not true black as in Munsell neutral 0. It was a very, very dark gray similar to modern aircraft interior "black".

Does anybody know whether Dull Black, the darkest of the US Navy's World War II camouflage colors, was "dull" in the sense of having a matte finish in contrast to the semigloss of the other colors, or whether it was "dull" in the sense of having a muted appearance, and being therefore more the darkest practicable gray rather than a true black?
