Use gel coloring, not the liquid colors you can buy at the supermarket. Knead the fondant to soften it, then add the color and knead it in until it's thoroughly mixed. Some colors will deepen overnight, like Americolor's super red and super black.
If you are making the fondant and need an entire batch of one color, it's easiest to add the color when you add the liquids to the recipe.
If you're making black fondant and don't mind it having a chocolate taste, substitute 3/4 cup cocoa powder for 1 cup of powdered sugar in your recipe, and you'll end up with dark brown fondant. Add a tiny bit of black color and let it rest overnight, and it will turn a nice dark black.

Do you have to put icing under the fondant on a cake?
No. You do not have to put icing under the fondant on a cake. You can bake a cake and not put any icing on it and just put fondant on it if you wish. No law forces you to put icing on the cake. With that said, How do you plan to stop the icing at the edge of the fondant? Which will you apply first? Normally sugar in the the icing causes it to stick to the cake and also causes the fondant to stick to the icing. So if you have messy people eating your cakes and do not want the fondant to fall off the plates onto the rug as they walk around the living room at a party, it would be best to use icing as a glue.
How much does fondant icing cost?
I have no idea about the cost of fondant. However, you can make an at-home version of fondant by melting icing to a liquidey consistency or by applying icing as it is from the tub to a still-hot cake. This will cause the icing to melt, but as you layer it, it will cool and form an icing that is more consistent with fondant, than the thick spread that is usually on cake.
