I think that this was ix-nayed because of the texturing. Just can't get any darker.

I always thought it was the decent charcoal grey at the top of the palette that many tailors mistake as dark green. 
Seriously. Its absolutely not green in anyway shape or form on my monitor. (I've heard its a difference in color setttings. /shrug) I'm happy with it.

) but yeah…it doesn't really bother me that that black isn't really black. I'm more upset with the state of the yellows.

I just hate the white problem. On the big palette what ressembles white the most is the very verylight green, and in comparison the white of the other palettes looks light pink. /sigh

The current black, in my opinion, is perfectly fine. Anything much darker and you wouldn't be able to see any of the detail in the clothing. With all of the outstanding tailoring issues and so little development time being focused on us, this should be near the bottom of our list.

Ugh yes, white on most clothes look just plain dirty. The striped slacks for instance. It are wrinkles, i know. But i looks so dirty.

Hmm..I see from your point of view how I may be wrong. If this is a common problem there should be a standardized or recommended settings for your computer's display toensure colors look the same on all computers. Of course im not saying THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE PUT ITAT THETOP OF THE LIST RIGHT NOW!!!!, this is just a person's opinion. Originally all I wanted to know was if there was any information on why there is no pure black shade. (Thanks NJ62 for being the first to answer the question ) Also your opinions are very interesting .
On my computer the top 'black' palette has a series of green shades to the left of it, indicating it is in the 'green' family and that that is the darkest of the line, and if you look closesly at it it has a dark green look that could be mistaken for black (once again on MY computer).
On the other hand, what I preceive as black (a couple rows beneath) is preceded by pure white, with shades of gray between and gradually gets darker and darker to eventually make what I use for 'black'.

My color issue is with dark blue. I want a dark navy or midnight blue. All the other blues are, well, too blue.

The top 'black' color (index 7) has the RGB value of 50, 54, 45, so theremore green in it than the other 'black' color (index 91), which has the RGB value of 64, 64, 64. That's closest to true black as we have at the moment.
You can see all the rgb values for all colors at this site, which also has a tool to help match colors from one palette to another. This is a Java Swing applet, so you need to be able to run these type of applets in your browser.
