One possible idea is that this Penzance looks lighter because of the dark tones surrounding it and the lighting setup. The black point is set to the black in the stem, so the blacks in the photo should be true.

I will look at my Penzance when I get home and the photo again on my calibrated monitor and tell you how far (if any) it is off.

Looking at it on my monitor and comparing it to the real thing, it is slightly darker. It looks like in post processing I must have lightened it up a bit. I didn't have it at my desk for reference like I would have if I was shooting a product for a job or something.

Though, it is more of a dark brown than a black, at least the sample I have (which is from the tin, obviously).
