I hope you get some more experienced advice but I can tell you I add chocolate. For buttercream I make a chocolate buttercream and then add black colour. For fondant I buy a chocolate fondant and add black to it. It stops the grey and you don't have to add as much black.

I also use chocolate for black frosting/fondant. I also use leftover colors, all blended together as a base. I prefer Americolor or Chefmaster colors to Wilton. I find I need to use less of the previous 2 compared to Wilton.

I agree that Americolor makes it much easier to acheive black! I could never get true black with Wilton's paste, but with Americolor gel, I can make black...even when starting from white.
