Another word for 'black'

Hi Russell, 
 
Congratulations for this great website. The word 'negro/a' can also be used to refer to the colour 'black'.

I'm not sure because it's not a word I use often, but I would translate "crimson" as púrpura or púrpuro instead of purpúrea or purpúreo.
Thanks A Million ...BJS....BERMUDA
