While "Black" is the generic name for a colour, or a particular segment of the colour spectrum, "Ebony" refers to a specific colour. Since the name "Ebony" also refers to the dense wood ebony, commonly from the genus Diospyros, in colour terms would refer to a particular red- or dark brown-tinged black.
