Sadly, the keys on my piano are plastic (real ivory hasn't been used on pianos in a long time) and the "white" keys are actually pretty much really white (ivory being significantly darker than white). The "black" keys are indeed truly black, a darker shade than any person I've ever known.

Pianos -- music's answer to the question of race relations.

Of course, now somebody will point out that the black keys sit a little higher up than the white ones... damn, there's just no end to it...
