So many colors for solid color wall paint, but no black?

Base game 'plain but pretty' has a black swatch. There's several patterned ones, the ones that immediately come to mind came with Vampires. I recently remembered to start filtering by colour and it's been a life saver.

Yes, but it also has floor moulding. I just want plain solid color.

CC maybe? I found some great black 'wall paper' that looks like drapery on TSR about a year ago.

Black isn't a thing in this game. Look at the "black" haircolor.

Yeah, I know, right? Even the black tiles for roof patterns look brown in the daylight. So weird.

CC items usually have the same problem. I read a tutorial on making CC that said you shouldn't use actual black when making black clothing, but instead use really dark brown or really dark grey or something. It explained why a lot of CC isn't quite black, but it kind of annoys me. Sometimes I just want actual black. I mean, I'm not asking for Vantablack or anything, but true black can be really nice sometimes.

Plus the not quite black, but near black, black for all clothing.

It drives me nuts. The colors are outdated. No black is a problem.
I would like to see some warm autumn colors, but all I see is cold and flat colors that don't really stand out.

Plus the black for one piece of clothing is not the same as the black for another piece of clothing. Not even close.
I know black and white are difficult to shade, so I understand that they're not using pure black/white. It wouldn't look that good.

But yes, I've also wanted a proper black wall colour. Same with roof pattern. I keep looking for that, but of course can't find it. Wonder if I should just make them myself.

Went ahead and made that wall. Just as a comparison, I put the "Plain but pretty" on the right side.

Its just the one swatch/colour.

I iactually found an in-game pattern that worked (apparently one can filter by color and I never realized it). I believe it was called "A Concrete Idea" or something of the like. It had both white and black so the textures stayed the same.
