Does it come in black?

I'm getting sick of the lame colour combos for our sims clothing.
Why can't we have the option of a black jacket/coat, with black, or dark grey worn under it? How about more layers of black?
Here's a selection of outfits that are frustrating me.
Outfit 1.
Nice coat, pity about the pockets, but why do the under layers have to be pale? A black coat needs black jeans, and black or dark grey upper garments, and maybe just a tiny splash of red or blue. Not all this pale stuff. Pale is skin, not clothing.
Outfit 2.
A nice black raincoat. Lovely. Why isn't it worn over more black? This blue will not do!
Outfit 3.
I need this cardigan in dark grey, with a black and grey horizontal striped top under it, and black pants... Leggings? Spray on jeans?
Outfit 4.
This is almost awesome. Get rid of the yellow on the pants, and replace the motif with a nice big skull.
Outfit 5.
Is this meant to be a sad sea captain outfit? Cos that's how it looks. Can it all be in black? Nautical goth-like?
I'd say that more than 90% of the outfits in the game are in terrible colour combos. And while I don't need my blacks to match, I just need my outfits to be in shades of black, or at least in combos that aren't so blegh.
Please share your own whines about the poorly but together outfits. I feel that our sims have been dressing in the dark.

Most of your guys look like winter coats over warm weather outfits, so the issues you describe. EA really should provide for dark blue and dark grey, not just the light tones shown. Shoes/boots should be black in all 5 cases, that shade of brown throws everything else off. #$-the guy is not a clown, so agree no gold on the trousers or shirt. If that's supposed to medieval, then a heraldic device, not that mass of spaghetti. #5 - can see where you get the sea captain. Having spent many years in navy can verify that coat, trousers, and shoes all black. shirt white (sorry, but that's how it is). On the other hand, coat is almost always buttoned up so very little other than collar would be seen. For simming purposes black or dark blue or dark grey would work.
If you've not been to the 'Townie Fashion Police" thread go have a look. Wild stuff over there. Have seen similar on own sims when not controlling them or while making in CAS, so not confined to townies. I agree with you, it's a frustrating mess.
This is why I download CC that has normal color combinations that make sense.
Remember the trench coat in TS2?
Sorry for the late response, I missed this post.
I vaguely remember a trenchcoat, yes. If the darker clothes were assigned to mainly Gothic styles, that could be why I don't recall them well. If I wanted darker shades of clothing or furnishings that were more to my personal style, I turned to modders. The modding community had recolors of practically everything.
