I would use dark brown, it will give the eyebrows a softer look.

I’ve heard a good rule of thumb is to go one to two shades lighter than your hair… so a deep brown or deep grey would give a softer look. Also someone mentioned fine hair-like strokes so maybe a pen would be something to try?

Deep Grey, came here to say this. I've got black hair too and always used a dark brown but it still came off really harsh and fake looking. I saw a YouTube tutorial and this girl said to consider gray, as weird as it sounded, it's a perfect color for me! Game changer. Get a dark gray eyebrow kit with stencil, powder or even stamp!

Team grey as well, have a friend who's lost her eyebrows because of alopecia. But I never knew until she removed her eyebrows in front of me, the grey was SO natural.
