The prevailing argument against black armor is that it, quite simply, cannot easily be seen when the wearer is in the shadows. I agree with that sentiment; unless more lights were added to the armor to make it easily visible even in darkness, no black armor.
Furthermore the human eye does not recognize the absence of color (black) as well as it recognizes color. Unless you are in an area of strong contrast, black is harder to recognize than any other color option available.
I think black looks slick, but it is unfiar in the grand scheme of things.
But if that's the case, active camo might as well be taken out. That can be classed as an "unfair sight advantage". Besides, there are lights on the armour plus the visor can be seen from a mile away. And before you say something about the Elites, they have more lights on their armour than Spartans do.
I didn't think that I would have to point something like this out, but active camo is not a model color, it isa temporary power up, very poor comparison. Argue it all you want, the human eye is designed to notice contrast and in most situation black blends more than any other color. Would this arguement hold in snow? Of course it wouldn't but that is not the norm, the norm is typically darker textures. Switch up the textures you say? Now the lighter colors are given the advantage. It's easier just to leave it out.
