Does colour matter?

So we want to get a kitten. Have decided on Siamese/ Oriental as we've had them before and LOVE their in your face, attention seeking ways. I've secretly always loved black cats because they look like little pumas but never actually had a black cat. So I was trying to find an Oriental or Siamese who will be ready around the right time - we're off on holiday soon so would have to be when we get back. Has to be a boy BC we have an adult female and everyone seems to think she'd be more likely to accept a boy. Also don't want to drive too far to collect.
Have found one. He's a beautiful black Oriental kitten. Literally everything I want in a cat BUT DH has a thing about black cats I've just discovered. Says they look "a bit mean". Now we had a red point before and he had told me he didn't want a ginger cat because "gingers are bullies" but within about a week cat had 100% won him over and DH always tells everyone he was the best cat he ever had. Should I try and talk him into the little black one? I have been struggling to find any other kittens. I don't know if I'm being selfish by pushing him into getting the cat I want or if kitten will just win him over like our last cat did. I mean really how much does cat colour matter anyway?? Thoughts please.

@Florissante her full name is really "Nooooo Wanda"....she's so naughty but so cute she gets away with it...

My Bengal was called “no don’t!!!!”

You had to screech it in the right note and he’d stop dead.
