Black everything is pretty safe. Hard to seriously mess up the aesthetic with that approach.
But it also rules out any real surprises, and I like my bicycles to surprise and delight the eye.
One idea is to add an extremely reserved amount of colour. Like all black except for red headset cups and a red rear sprocket. Or something like that. The trick is to make sure the strong-colour-matching really is small in area and number of parts. You don’t want five things to be red. Or a red saddle. Etc.

Dope build man. I like the all black but you could maybe sneak in a little contrast as a trim color. Nothing big just whatever color you like as small details

My cinelli is all black. Sometimes I’ll change out the grips whenever the mood hits me. I have 5 or 6 pairs.
