I don't know if it's already been mention, but... ss far as I'm aware you can only get aluminum black nipples, which are really soft and will eventually weld themselves to the rim if your rim is aluminum, or has aluminum eyelets.
Brass nipples don't round off. Well, the ones that came with my DT swiss spokes haven't and they're fine. You just can't get them in black. I don't think they look noticeable with an all black wheel to be honest. I like them on mine.
