#1 hair color is also known as Jet Black. It is the deepest black available in the Hair Color Chart you can find.

In the wig manufacturing business, 1B hair color is frequently utilized, and the claimed "natural black" is based on 1B hair color.
#2 hair color, commonly known as 'darkest brown', creates a mix between darkest black and soft brown. From a distance, #2 hair color looks black as well, much like 1B, but up close, you'll notice subtle brown undertones which are more stellar when exposed to sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
