Carbon and graphite is highly extended fused benzene rings terminated with quinone groups and phenol groups. This allows the pi electrons to delocalize over large areas. This delocalization collapses the molecular orbitals to a point that they absorb all light in the visible region. Hence it appears black.

Why are tires always black?

During the process of vulcanisation of rubber to make it sheer resistant to make tyres out of it, a certain proportion of carbon is mixed into it. Without this procedure the tyres will not be able to withstand the friction n stress of the road. This carbon is responsible for giving tyres the characteristic black colour.. When ozone combines with ultraviolet light from the sun, it attacks the tire polymer. To prevent tires from rapidly deteriorating, a sacrificial absorber is used, "carbon black" - which, fittingly, makes tires black
