Is Haradrim black?

The Haradrim were bold and grim men, fierce in despair. They were tall and dark-skinned with black hair and dark eyes, and for that they were called Swertings or Swarthy Men. The men of Near Harad were brown-skinned, with black hair and dark eyes, while the race known as “half-trolls” out of Far Harad had black skin.

They were nearly destroyed in the War of Wrath, and those that survived fled eastwards into the Mountains of Angmar and the Grey Mountains (Ered Mithrin). We may assume that the others (the ones Sauron created), along with some of the Melkor breeds, fled and hid anywhere they could.
