There's like 3 ways I can answer this question. 1: the snarky way Black is not actually a color but rather the lack of color 2: the overly technical way The "color" known as black requires far more than two colors and is actually constructed using the entire spectrum of color (so essentially use all the primary and secondary colors) 3: the possibly helpful way Take a "black" pen and smudge the ink and you'll find that it's not black at all but a very very dark purple or blue. So if I had to choose any two colors I'd say a purple and a brown.

There is no way to mix any number of colors, and end up with black. You cannot have "black" unless there is an absence of light. When there is no light, everything is black.
Manufacturers of black-ink make fake-black by combining all the available pigment until they come up with something that you call black. It is not really black. You can do this experiment, and prove this to yourself:

Why don't you just use a black crayon?
And blackness is the absence of all light.
Black pigment is the result of all pigment, however normally it is a very dark pigment of a color, normally blue or green.

Black is not a color, therefore other colors cannot be combined to make black.

black is not a colour but a shade of any colour. All colours are black as long as they are dark enough. I would suggest using a very dark blue and mixing loads of really dark colours together in order to obtain a colour which is closest to black.

Black while commonly referred to as a color, is in actuality the absence of color. A pigment is used to attain it in crayons.

none, in the color spectrum black is the absence of color.
