This sounds like a job for Kiltstore.net's tartan color search! I tried grey/black and black/grey. If you exclude other colors there's a tractable number of matches, but most of them are woven-to-order types. Perhaps a retailer stocks some of them.
Off the shelf includes Black Isle (16 or 13 oz from Marton), or also some black-on-black weaves from Marton, House of Edgar which resemble SWK's shadow tartan. In poly-viscose, there is Marton's Grey Granite (I think it's called); but that may be lighter than what you're wanting. USAK uses it, but I don't know where to buy fabric (kiltstore.net? perhaps Celtic Croft could get it).
