I remember when this was discussed the first time around. I somewhat agree with not using black, I don't remember the last time I used black in a design nor saw it really used. These days it's all about the greys. A fine substitute for black I've been using for as long as I can remember is #111111 it's close enough to black it's dark, but it's further away from black that it is somewhat noticeably different. It's all a matter of taste and preference. Keep in mind #000000 will not always be black, colour profiles, brightness and contrast settings of individual monitors and devices means there will always be a difference. One colour is generally like a million colours. As always, think for yourself and don't readjust your workflow because of posts like this.
