From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You probably already know, but scheme artists avoid pure #000000 out of contrast concerns. (e.g. DarkReader can give some headaches if the background is straight black with offwhite text). That makes a #000000 scheme very rare - manual intervention required :P
If you still wanna get crackin', just tweak a preexisting dark theme and change navies/greys to black. And if you're talking about the palette instead of actual themes to install, this still works -- just check the source for whatever colors they're using and tweak those. (grep for hexes then sort uniq? shell exercise is left to the reader)
I'd recommend taking one of vinceliuice's themes and just turning navy blues into blacks. For example, Graphite-gtk (has a matching qt theme) is pretty grey even with a
--blacktweak, but you could blacken it with some effort. Same with Colloid-gtk (also has a--blacktweak).You could probably even blackify the KDE theme's greys if you so fancied, but then you'd need to tune down the contrast on the other colors in the set. And this and that...
If this is too inexact an answer, then ouch. I wish you luck!
