GM picked black for several reasons. The most important was that it sheds heat and improves efficiency of the engine. I'd use a dark color but not black because of oil leaks. Orange is the color I prefer myself but buick red is also a good color. Keeps the heat sheding properties but allows you to see leaks better.
