Black lithium silicate glass ceramics

A method, comprising:

• ceramming a precursor glass-based article to form a glass ceramic,
• wherein the glass ceramic comprises:
• at least one lithium silicate crystal phase as a primary crystal phase;
• and
• at least one of petalite, β-quartz, β-spodumene, cristobalite, and lithium phosphate as a minor crystal phase, and
• the glass ceramic is characterized by the following color coordinates:
• L*:
• 20.0 to 40.0;
• a*:
• −1.0 to 1.0;
• and
• b*:
• −5.0 to 2.0.
