It doesn't work because black is at boundary of the color space. Black is the
complete absence of color; asking for it to be more black bumps against that
boundary and does nothing at all. The same would be true of white, cyan, or
any color that is already fully saturated. David's idea would have worked
with any color in the interior of the color space, such as tan or light green.
