If they're using standard pyrolytic carbon black (c2H(x) + Cr(x))
then why/how does it yellow at all?   Are they really using iron 
black or something else?    Or is it really the hehicle that's 
yellowing?  (oil paints yellow over time not because of the pigment 
but because of the polymerization of the linseed oil.)
