This could be a PPD black henna, but unless you contact the artist,
ask ,and get a truthful answer, you won't know.

Dark Green sounds like a dye other than PPD, though I agree that
perception of color is a very complex problem.

How quickly did the black stain your skin, and how long did it last?
PPD stains in less than 2 hours, and lasts over 1 week on an upper
arm.

If you do have any symptoms of blistering, itching, RUN to your
physician with a printout of the paper linked below. That has
information your doctor needs on diagnosis and treatment so you won't
have scarring.
