The darkness of pencil lead is determined by its graphite-to-clay ratio. The higher the graphite content, the darker the lead. Therefore, a pencil lead labeled as "HB" or "B" will be darker than a lead labeled as "H" or "F." The darkest pencil lead commonly available is typically labeled as "6B" or "8B," indicating a high graphite concentration.

The term "6B" typically refers to a grade of pencil lead that is very soft and produces a dark, rich line. In the context of pencil grading, 6B is one of the darkest available, with higher numbers indicating softer and darker leads. However, other mediums like charcoal or certain inks can produce darker marks than a 6B pencil. Therefore, while 6B is dark among pencils, it isn't the absolute darkest medium available.
