This happened to one of my friends, but he is a smoker. If you are a smoker than this can definitely explain the black mucus because of the tar from the cigarettes. If you're not a smoker, you should probably go to a doctor.

I have the same problem. I am a nurse, and I can tell you personally that you need to use a cool-mist humidifier. All this is is dried blood. During winter months, everyone uses heat in the house, and this will dry out your nasal passages. Therefore, you will break small vessels in the nasal passages. Mine usually occur in the morning (after the blood has remained in my nose and had time to turn black). Get the humidifier, try it, use an antihistamine (such as Benadryl), and see if this helps.

Maybe that colour is caused by polluted air that you breathe from the environment. It depends where you work and where you live. Have you thought about that?
I guess that you should do sinus CT scan. It is not necessary that dark mucus indicates sinus infection, but this is the way that it can be checked

Sounds like you have been around smoke. If not, I'd go to the doctor.
