I'm trying to change the desktop color to black but I can't seem to find how, other than by creating a solid black image.

In System Preferences -> Desktop & Screensaver, there are a few colors, but I can't find any way to change the desktop background color to black...

I believe you can create ~/Library/Desktop Pictures and place anything you want in there. The Apple-provided solid colors are simply PNGs in /Library/Desktop Pictures/Solid Colors.

mress:10242 Z$ ls /Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Solid\ Colors 
Solid Aqua Blue.png       Solid Gray Light.png      Solid Mint.png
Solid Aqua Dark Blue.png  Solid Gray Medium.png     Solid White.png
Solid Aqua Graphite.png   Solid Kelp.png
Solid Gray Dark.png       Solid Lavender.png

Browser to where you were in System Prefs, Select it from the list.
