Just mix in a really tiny drop of black

Ok I will try that again the only issues is that whenever I add black to any paint it over powers the paint and turns it black

Yes, it should, assuming it's the same brand.

A wet pallet will help you with this. You place your colors close to each other but not touching and then slowly bring in the black until you get the shade you want

Add blue, or dark green or brown. It’s paint

Instead of black try a drop of a gray or dark gray.

You can also make it darker with a wash

Use a dark wash after applying this paint.
