I'm writing a C++ code which can identify color black. I want to use HSV color space, but I cannot find the value range for black. Can anybody provide me the value range for color black in HSV color space?

In the HSV color space black color is represented by any point (H,S,V) having V = 0. To visualise this see the cylindrical 3D models in the HSV wiki which make it very easy to understand.
