darkest black for web?

fredcastle

Any tips on how to get the best / darkest black for vector images I’m saving as .gif files and “saving for web” through illustrator?

Thanks.

You must be converting from CMYK to RGB (or the other way around — a bit unlikely, with a GIF output target). Check your document color space.

The darkest possible black is a black hole. RGB values of (0,0,0) come closest on a computer screen. The best there is, accept no substitute.
