Sometimes a chinchillated black (a/a cch/cch) can look "off black" as well. Actually, one of the issues in breeding black foxes is keeping the top color a deep enough black.

If she were chinchillated black, the only way you could get chinchilla babies would be to breed her to an agouti tan, then breed agouti tan babies to each other or one agouti tan to one agouti.

If she is chinchillated black, when bred to a black tan, she would give some black tan babies. When these babies are bred together, they'd give some black foxes.

The most likely explanation, though, is that she is simply a "poor" black, though, as chinchilla is not very common outside of the show ring. It does occur in petstores, but not very often.
