Black, although it has its uses, is not a good choice for darkening. Black will give a drab, sometimes muddy color. By using the color's opposite you will get a more lively color with (usually) the same brightness/intensity. Try testing this out and you will see the difference.

What is the result when you add tints of black and white on a certain color?
If you add black to a color, you will darken it. If you add white to a color you will lighten it. How dark/light you want the color to be depends on the amount of black or white you mix in. But be careful of using too much black. It can leave you with a muddy tone instead of a nice color.
