The invention discloses black particles and a process for producing black particles. The present invention provides black particles which have high electrical insulating properties, are highly black in the visible-light region, and have excellent dispersibility and a process for producing the black particles. The black particles of the present invention are black particles comprising amorphous carbon, the amorphous carbon being derived from the carbon contained in an oxazine resin. The black particles have a specific gravity of 1.8 g/cm3 or less, a zeta potential of -70 to +80 mV, a total light reflectance, as determined through an examination in the wavelength range of 400-800 nm, of 5% or less on average, and a peak intensity ratio between G band and D band, as determined from the Ramanspectrum, of 1.2 or greater.
