As the request is for a dye... black will be a colour, and it can have shades.

(artistically, bumpmap and specular on armour is going to make the purest black nigh on hard/impossible to be standard - it will work on some things, not others).
No. There is no shades of black or white. Just light or dark shades of grey. Black is when no other color is present.
