C-sharp or D-flat, whichever you prefer.

More infoBlack keys are simply called "Black Keys"; they signify half-steps of whole notes. Although the distance between the black keys are essentially a whole step, they are a half-step above/below it's neighboring white key.

As a scale goes A, B, C, D, E, F, G; the black key between C and D's name is automatically chosen whether you are in a sharp key or flat key, In A-flat major this key is called D-flat (has to be) but in the A major scale this key is called C-sharp.
