Black RGB lights look like a dark, simple answer. But it is not that easy. Let’s have an easy explanation.
How to Get Black Light for RGB LEDs?
What does it mean by Black Light? In general concept, black light is the absence of light. So if you ask how can I get black from RGB LEDs, then the answer would be “Just press the OFF button or disconnect the power supply.” There is another way to have the black color not by cutting the power or turning it off, and that is to set all the primary colors’ (red, green, blue) at their minimum intensities. It will give you black by this process only theoretically. In practice, the minimum intensities of RGB LEDs will give a very dark shade of gray, near to black, not pure black.
However, if you can set the intensities of RGB at their minimum level, it may look black in the daylight. But if you notice it in a dark environment, it will be observed as a dark shade of gray. If the RGB components allow the minimum intensity to be actually zero, or just make that OFF by setting it at minimum, pure black can be achieved.
Final Answer
So, in conclusion, black light should look dark, but if RGB lighting has a power supply then the nearest possible color will look like a dark shade of Gray.

FAQs
Is it Possible to Get Black Light from RGB LEDs?
Yes. RGB Blacklight can be got from RGB LEDs by turning off the light or cutting off the power supply. Blacklight can also be achieved by setting the intensities of red, green, and blue at their minimum level. But it will not be pure black.
What do Black RGB Lights Look Like?
Black should look dark, no light. But if the intensities of the primary colors are set at their minimum, then it will not be pure black. It will look like a dark shade of gray.
What is the RGB Code of Black?
The RGB codes for black is (0, 0, 0). That means all the color channels are set to their minimum range. On the other hand white’s is (255, 255, 255), or the maximum.

Actually, I am a student of Textile Engineering. I love playing games and RGB components. Besides, I used to sell various RGB products. So I have some ideas and experiences. Here I am to share mine with you through RGB For Gamers.
