I always start with chocolate buttercream, too. It comes out a really nice black and it tastes yummy, too!

If you don't want chocolate you can always just use a combination of colors to obtain black. Use Royal blue, moss green and black. That will help it be more black than gray.

I always let my black sit for a day, you don't have to add a whole lot, just like red, it takes a while to get completely black. You can never get a complete black while mixing in color, it will look gray until it sits.
