Is there an easy alternative to "fellow," devoid of gender?
2. One word describes that black so black it appears to contain purples and blues: jet black. We use it, and it creates the exact image we need. But, we end up leaning on it, and it has become a touch cliche.
Is there another word for jet black, some synonym to keep it fresh?

For the Fellow part I figured:
coequal
colleague
counterpart
For jet black, the best I could come up with are:
ebon
onyx
Hope these help.
Blurple
Tafea, blurple is truly a perfect word for "jet black," but probably requires a disclaimer before usage...until it enters mainstream use, that is. Maybe we all need to use the word on our blogs five times each within a two-week span.
Logan, I'd probably opt for ebon and colleague. "Colleague," however perfectly gender free it may be, is only functionable as a noun unfortunately. "Fellow" works so well because it can function as both a noun and an adjective. Thanks for the great suggestions, the synonyms for "jet black" shall certainly make their way into my colored vocabulary.
