My skin color is a natural tan and my natural hair color was a really dark brown. I decided to go black on the hair (not emo/goth black) and I dyed it yesterday. I noticed in the sunlight it has a strong tint of red to it. It is actually really pretty, but my question is, is that normal? I really don't mind it at all.

You hair color is the result of fairly complex molecules generated from transcription from you genome. Every one is slightly different and each interacts differently with hair dyes. Hair care companies go to great trouble to make their products as consistent as possible but certain individuals will never get the color on the box. If you are one of these you will find most hair dyes look different on you.
You can try a little of some recently cut har to make certain you like it first. You lucked out this time but in the future a little test might be good. Save you hair at haircut time.

The dye must have a red base.
All colors (even black) have to come from a mix of other colors, starting with the primary colors (red, blue, yellow)
and it seems they opted for a red base on this one.
It's normal, especially in do-it-yourself kits.

If you have any irish in your bloodlines, the red tint was there before, but just not visible because of the color or mix of colors in brown. If not, the red will fade out of in in two or three days.

Depending on the color you used, and the natural pigments in your hair you'll get different results with each color.
It sounds to me like you already had some sort red in your hair, and the dye only darkened it. since red and brown are so much the same color, it makes sense.

That's perfectly normal. Just how skin can have a golden, pink, or yellow undertone. Hair also has brown, red, or golden undertones. My hair is dark black, but in the sun it's usually a darker shade of brown.

Maybe the hairstylist who did your hair added a little red to the black?

ok..most hair dyes have a base color to it. the one you used probably had either a red base or a violet base which looks red in the sun.

Yeah, it's normal. It means that you just have a lot of red pigment in your hair. You have reddish tones rather than violet or blue tones.
