Sorry, I don't have any of those visual computer things.

If the black passage is not in some thing critical like the face, why don't you just wipe down with a soft cloth and mineral spirits, let it dry, and repaint it? I'm not one of those who says that black does not belong on the palette, but I do believe that it can be used very sparingly for, as mentioned before, dropping the chroma or value a little. Otherwise, there are lots of ways to manufacture more colorful darks that will read as black to the average eye. Again -- sorry to repeat myself -- one of the few places for the use of solid black is in the pupil of most eyes.
