Coloring in Black

I'm starting to learn how to color images using Photoshop. While I'm starting to understand how to use colors, I don't know the proper way to color something black. If I use just black, the drawing doesn't look right. I just need some help in learning how to color black hair and clothing.

Base color is dark blue/green/grey/purple/etc, shadows are black.

if you're going to color the clothes in pure black. use the dark gray color as a background color and black as the foreground.

here's the sample:

avoid using black in colouring, it's too solid
use another dark colour
