I think the black scheme looks cool!
I was at Scampton in the early 90s when one of our Tucanos was painted dark blue for the display season. It was often the only aircraft you saw when airborne! This prompted the new colour scheme as it stood out so well.
BEagle had the Brize flying club aircraft painted dark blue with gold stripes at about the same time. One of the best colour schemes I've seen on a light aircraft.
