I test my wash on a white paper tissue. A brush with wash should make a medium to light gray spot on a paper tissue. A black spot is much to many color in the mix. Dark gray is do dangerous because you have no chance of a second layer and a light background (e.g. reefer) might be ruined already-
Remember, it is intended to have multiple layers of wash in most cases.
