Black Flags...and other rarer colors

I don't own any but as soon as I figure out how to set up a paypal account I am gonna buy some off bricklink for my Black Falcon/2007 Castle. I almost never see black used in any castles, it's almost always red, yellow, white, or blue. Why is this? What about mixing new and old colors? The new red and the old yellow look good together. What are your favorite MOCs that people have made featuring other colors. I wanna see some pics.

Well, I don't have any pics....YET. But I've been working with blue and green a lot in my most recent MOC. Promise to upload a lil' something for you to see soon. Now that we have darker shades of blue and green to put into the mix you can get some really cool effects. I have been using gold as an accent color. With a touch of silver. It looks kinda neat.

I do happen to be colorblind but I don't think I'm crazy here. I ordered a couple black 4 x 1 pennons a while back from 2 different BL sellers and just threw them in my pennon baggy till I could find time for lego. When I did get around to throwing them on some lances I realized that although they were described as black and in new, unused condition it looks like only one of them matches the other, soft-plastic black parts I have while the other 2 look... lighter somehow. They kinda look like they were left in the sun for a couple weeks but the seller said new.
Anybody happen to know of another color that could explain this or do I have the only two damaged in this way?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking. I imagine the black flags aren't used much, because the flags are a nice way to add some color.

Well, at the risk of barking up the wrong tree, I recently got my first dark grey flag (with Hogwarts). But I suppose that's far lighter than the flags you describe - if they just look like faded black.

Thx Brickzone but yes I have access to dgrey 4 x 1 pennons and and no this is definitely not from Hogwarts. It's way darker than that but at I can see why you'd suggest that.
