I think i'm a little too late in reply but meh....Make a spectrum gray... So depending if you want a warm or cool gray, you will use a red, yellow and blue as well as a earth tone (Burnt umber or the like) also can use some white. Use these colours in varying amounts to create a black.

But the key point with a spectrum grey is you use no pure black (So you are creating a black with these colours... and then adding the white to create the gray.
