When I heard they were bringing out two limited editions I thought Yes at last, we could do with a broader colour palette on the Rockets and what do they produce two black bikes when they already have one. They missed an opportunity to do something special there, still, it leaves the rest of us the room to make our own 
.
I was speaking to a dealer about the black bike issue when was looking at the new Speed Triple 1200 ( black and matte grey only) and they said that the previous version in white was their best seller and that only had the matte grey ones left in stock which many potential customers said they didn't want. They told Triumph about this but they seem to have lost all the pages in their colour palette book after black and grey.
Back when I first started riding in the late 70's every bike was colourful and you hardly saw a black bike let alone a grey one, maybe I'm a bit biased here but I think we need more colour in our bikes from the manufacturers.

Funny story. Showed my Daughter the triple black on-line and she oooed and awwed. Very nice she says. I told her that, for extra money, you can get some of the pieces fancied up and showed her the "stock" phantom black. Now that is much nicer looking she says..... A matter of taste for sure...

I still prefer the phantom black over the triple black and likely won't be changing any colors on mine any time soon. Carbon Fiber heat shields are the only real change--but that's more for function than form.
