I have never come across water colour paper in black but you can get black paper in pads for oil pastels at most good art shops ,is that what you mean

You could try this which is available in Black

It's designed for charcoal and pastels, I don't know how well it will withstand watercolour but might be worth a try.

Look on ebay. But you might have to use thick pastel paper
