The color of our hair is technically dark brown. It is mostly mistaken as black because of the amount of what we call "eumelanin" which is less denser than any other colors. Eumelanin is a melanin that is recognized as black and brown in color.

A ginger with black hair would look like a pale-skinned person with freckles that has black hair.

It depends. Some people look better with black hair and some look better with blonde hair.
