i wandering the same myself i have a black horse and black tack but just got a new saddle and its brown looks smart on her now gotta buy everything else in brown
Brown I hate black tack. Elizabeth has black tack for Fany, I fought her but as usual she won I just remember when it was brown or brown, maybe I am old fashioned.

Just posted the same on the Kincade post - most of the saddles I fit are only stocked in brown so I get to have this conversation a lot. At least 50% of owners who thought they wanted black for a black horse end up liking and having dark brown - it's very dark, and very neutral and makes most black horses look blacker. Brown leather is so much nicer IMO.
IMO if you've got a black horse your lucky because pretty much every color looks decent on them, whether thats tack, rugs, boots, etc.
The only color tack I really do NOT like is a newmarket or tobacco color. It just ends up looking orange and the contrast is way too strong
