I have black die, and I even mixed it with brown. I put a little chocolate in it, but I didn't want to make it chocolate because It won't go with the flavors of the cake, at best I am getting a dark gray. OK any help would be great!!! Thanks.

just step away and give the color time to darken up..............cover and take a break....ussually i make my black anything ahead of time because I let it rest over night and if its still too light i add more color the next day

Color definitely does deepen with time. I also find that black powdered color works better than paste or liquid for me. It's kind of tricky to get it worked into the fondant, but with patience it will blend.

I just made black fondant 2 days ago, used about 6-7 drops americolor and ot dark grey, let it sit overnight and it was BLACK the next mornng, your colors will almost always deepen no matter WHAT color you use.

Americolor rocks for making black. I've given up being careful with the amount of color I add when trying to make black anything. I just squirt a fair amount in and get to kneeding. From my experience, wear gloves!
