I have a dual channel motherboard with 2 black slots and 2 blue slots. I currentlty only have 4GB of 1600MHZ RAM (in the blue slot) and was hoping to add 2 x 4GB 1866MHZ RAM. Is it okay for me to put those 2 (1866MHZ) in the black RAM slots?

It usually does not damage anything but it is likely that it won't work together.

It will most likely not work, even same model RAM's may not work together so buy at your own risk of incompatibility.
