The wiki has a http://wiki.project1999.com/FashionQuest_Guide to help with just this sort of thing. Unfortunately it's not completely straightforward ...

In a perfect world, you'd use the wiki's multi-category search to find items that have the categories:
  • Warrior Equipment
  • Troll
  • Head
  • Fashion: Black

... but the wiki only has equipment categorized by class, not race, so you can only do:
  • Warrior Equipment
  • Head
  • Fashion: Black

But then if you do just that ... http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:...Category3=Head ... you get no results.

If you remove "Head", you'll see why: http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:...Fashion: Black

As you can see, there's only ten Warrior-usable items in the game that literally have a tint color of #000000 (Black). Those items don't include any head gear.

However, that doesn't mean there aren't any items that look black. There are also lots of other "dark shades of gray" that will likely look very close to black, and they're all listed on that fashion quest guide page. For instance, if we check out "Woodsmoke" ... http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:...Category3=Head ... we can see that both the Cowl of Mortality (custom and regular) and the Icepaw Skull Helm have that same tint.

But then, different items use their tint a different amount, so even an item with a black tint may look less black than you want: you really have to find a screenshot of someone wearing that item (or at least any item with the same fashion categories). And unfortunately no one has posted a screenshot of any armor in the Woodsmoke category yet [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But if you play around with the multi-category search and the various black-like tints (or just click their links on the fashion quest guide page), you should find various equipment options.

Hope that helps.

P.S. Just to emphasize the importance of checking screenshots, here's a male dark elf wearing a "black"-tinted suit of armor (that's very blue):

Good call! The wiki doesn't have each individual fine plate item (which is part of why it didn't show up in the search), but Lucy does.

Strangely enough ... http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=23294 ... actually has a tint of ***this dark gray color.

Still, the helm would probably look black (given that that is the whole point of dyed plate) ... but with EQ fashion it's always a good idea to find a screenshot first to be safe.

Looks like black chain (trolls have horns). Cheap and solid choice

Nevermind, loramin already mentioned custom cowl. So this post isn't a waste of space, here's the link to that thread mentioning the change in color.

What about blackened alloy crown? It's chain, but chain looks cool. Lots of resists and str, reasonable AC too.
