Dezinerfolio 2.0 by Dezinerfolio
The demo link doesn’t work on Dezinerfolio’s site so you’ll have to download it to view it -but it’s worth it.
This theme won’t work straight out of the box because of the required plugins, but it’s not really a problem because the author includes all the necessary plugins with the download. All you need to do if you aren’t using the plugin yet is to upload and activate. IMO, this can be an issue for some users and make them back away from this theme but if you have some skills you might like this theme.
Charade by Css Rock Stars
I really liked this theme and thought about using it on my blog but I couldn’t get the twitter box to work which made me change my mind but if you can get it to work then this them rocks. I know it’s not a black or grey theme but Hey oh well I wanted to feature it anyway. The demo link doesn’t seem to work on the site so you have to view a demo my blog using it below. Read the readme.txt file that’s included in the download to configure the social networking buttons on the top, it’s easy.
Black 2 by SkinPress.com
I’ve used this theme on my blog and I love it. It’s not currently sowcased on SkinPress.com but you can still demo it and download it at wordpressgallery.com below.
Dark Classic by Askgraphics.com
I’ve used this theme on my blog so I know it works great only problem I found was if you list too many tags it they start to drop off past the background graphic and that bugged me but if you don’t usually list a ton of tags like I seem too then it won’t be an issue and you might just love this theme. Try it.
GreyMagic wordpress theme

CCS creme’s Spring WordPress Theme
This is a dark theme for the girls ..CSS creme also offers winter, summer and fall versions of this theme. I’ve used this theme on my blog and it looked great. You can easily customize the background graphics by just replacing the background url in the style sheet. It has really nice graphics included for rss, bullets and title headings.
Hey Barbara,
Thanks for featuring my theme! All of the themes mentioned above are great, but mine is obviously the best of all
Dark Classic looks cool… Sorry Rajaie, it’s better than your theme
