There are different shades that we will all perceive as black; the percentage will vary. For a given material, it will also depend on the exact mix of frequencies in the light. The general idea is that black absorbs most of the incoming light. Check the Wikipedia article on "Albedo" for some examples; fresh asphalt is one of the darkest, listed as having an albedo of 0.04 (that is, only 4% of the light is reflected).
