Here's a warm or cool black
I use alilzarin crimson, burnt sienna, and ultramarine blue. By varying the amounts of each, you can get something I call a dead black (flat, no color), or by pushing the alizarin, you can get a warm black. More blue, and you get a cool black. Vary the black you make from warm to cool, or whatever, and you'll have an interesting black instead of dull orl ivory black straight from the tube.
Pthalo blue and burnt sienna (or transparent oxide red) make a VERY dark brown, almost black. I suppose you could fiddle with this and get some warm and cool darks that would read as black, also.
It's just my opinion, but I feel black is such an uninteresting color, so anything we can to make it vibrate a little is a help.
