Interestingly feel like one of the bike pack ing dot com people was saying they don't run tan wall tyres anymore because they find they leak sealant + lack sidewall protection, though they said there are "some exceptions".
Whatever the case, I would support your tyre brand as I am team black sidewall.

I have heard that Jan Heine does not make black tyres anymore, at least most of the models will not be available in black color anymore, because the reason for it is that in the US all the people like tan wall tyres. I had a look to get Switchback Hill (650Bx48) in extralight variant & black color, to have in stock at home, but not available =( I know that people make jokes about my tyre choice on the two group rides I make in a year, but who cares, I love fat slickies. Gravelkings, Pari-Motos, WTB Horizons or even black Ultradynamico Cava tyres are the options? Maybe I should make a niche tyre company, with the first tyre being a 650B x 2,2" Grasshopper front wheel style profile, black color and some bold letters on it, which all makes probably no sense, but why not.
