in most cases, the child would be brown or in between (half colored).

Multiple alleles determine skin pigmentation. It's impossible to predict what natural tone the child's skin will take prior to mating because which pieces of genetic code are included in gamete (ovum or sperm) are randomly selected. To further complicate matters, each of the millions of sperm carries a unique half of the man's genetic code, and each one (even given 1 ovum) would create a child with different characteristics, including skin color.
The skin tone will most likely be anywhere on the spectrum that is lighter than the 'black' man and darker than the 'fair' woman.

I don't know if there is a way to genetically figure this out. I have a lot of friends with mixed children and they usually are light skinned, but not fair. Their hair texture differs too, from more coarse "black" hair to more fine hair. I've also seen two or more children from the same family where 1 is dark skinned and the other is light skinned. Maybe its just luck of the draw!! You also have to take ancestry into account. For example, both my husband and I have blond hair and 2 of our children have blond hair, but the other has red hair. Someone in our ancestry, though not recent, must have had red hair. (And yes she is his!!)

The child can end up anywhere from very light to very dark. There are many genes involved that can combine in different ways.

You can figure the PROBABILITY, but not the actual result. There are too many variables.
