No need to apologise! Honestly didn't give any consideration to the colour when buying. Personally I generally dislike black for the hiding of lines reason you state (though black with some dull gold wheels & detailing can look wonderful)
I don't have many strong feelings on car colours. Lamborghinis should always be loud, stupid colours. Roadsters generally look great in BRG (or silver, IMO). Imprezas should always be blue, and Lancers red. S2000s are yellow or gun metal grey.
Also, two-tone paint jobs should definitely be more of a thing.
And black painted bonnets that pretend to be carbon can do one.
