In English, at the present time, there is no word for partly black. "Part black" is not a word for being half white and half black; it's a adjective. "Mixed" is as close as you can get. People that are half black and half white refer to themselves usually as "black", because, allegedly, mixed race people in this country are treated as if they are black exclusively.

What color do we get when mixing brown black and white?

In terms of paint colors, we get a lighter and more neutral brown, usually a dark tan.

(Brown, for example, can refer to people as diverse as Mestizo Hispanics to Hindustani Indians to Touaregs. Black can refer to numerous very different groups of Africans, Afro-Caribbeans, and Brazilians White can refer to groups as diverse as Swedes, Spaniards, and Armenians.) However, at the point of so much racial intermarriage, the progeny will not look distinctively like a member of any race.
