I know you migh tnot like what I am about to tell you.... but I buy my black AND red fondant... they are the only 2 colors I had a hard time achieving everytime I tried, so I asked here and most ppl said what I am saying now... so now I always have those 2 colors in case I need them...
I had the same broblem with buttercream... but since I do not buy buttercream.... I always make it... I tried the brand Chefmaster and that's the only one that I have been able to use and get the black buttercream....
Hope this helps...

Me too. I keep a 2# tub of black, red, dark chocolate, and green SI at all times. Sometimes I'll even use a small amt. of those mixed with white to make lighter colors. Or mix the green w/ the dark choc to make an army green. I just HATE tinting fondant if I can help it at all.
i have dyed both black and red mmf. it's a long and exhausing process. you really have to work the color in. my mmf started white (next time i will tint in the gooey stage like suggested), once i started added black, then alot more, it went from grey to purple to black. and it was a dark black-true black. so it is achievable. and i got great biceps out of the deal!! red was good to, although i found i had to use more PS while mixing as it turned really soft. i used both colors on my frankenstrat guitar cake (in profile pics). so good luck!
