On this topic. My living room is all wood, on the lighter shades of cherry. Black is anathema in that room. Even my speakers/subwoofer set are in light cherry.
For the last few years I've been trying to add another sub into the system, but I can't. Why? Because just about every damned sub made is black (at my price point). I've been wanting a 12" that matches the lowest spec of 22 db as my sub in my systems. With 400 to 600 watts. Guess what you better come up with $2000 or more if you want one.
SVS has one that would match the specs I'm looking for (2000 Pro), black, black, and more black. Jesus man, speaker companies used to at least offer the fake wood patterns vinyl paper speakers and subs. Some were so good looking that you would think they were real wood veneers, all under $1000. This is the main reason why I haven't bought a speaker in over 12 years. No choice of color, unless you have $ 2000 or more.
