Hiding repaired cracks in stocks

Fiebing's leather dye, the alcohol version, not the water based version, works very well as a wood dye if you want a wood dye. They do it in a good range of colours.

have always dyed any glue used for stock repair black.. I usually used Acraglas gel as it is designed for gun work and is extremely stable. Grain is black, not brown..

bombdoc and Flying10uk both are spot on, you can use the black leather dye or Brownell's black dye thinned with spirts (to shades of black) with a fine paintbrush to follow the grain across the break, joining them back up. This will blend and will keep the eye from focusing on the break.
