Why is there a problem? Black is a shade, not a statement.
...edit to satisfy pedants!

I can never get my head round that.

It's a scam. What you are buying is "incredibly dark grey (IDG) paint" they rely on the fact that your eye can not, under warehouse lighting, detect the difference between IDG and black.
When it comes to using the paint in a highly stressful situation you will become painfully aware of the difference. You wanted to "paint it black" but it ended up "painted IDG". It's very damaging.
Lawyers won't touch it as it is very difficult to secure a conviction in the IDG paint scam despite it causing massive irreparable psychological damage, on a wide scale, on very vulnerable paint buyers.

It's not our government's fault : it's the EU's fault, seeing as how the contract for printing them wasn't awarded to a UK company. These pesky continental Johnny Foreigners can't do anything right ...

I'm pretty sure my old UK Passports had a black cover.

God knows, I had about 6 in succession and used them hundreds of times.
................ but then maybe you are colour-blind or they made a special blacklist passport for bad buggers. .............. and suggesting you are pretty is stretching the point.

My old hard back passports with the corners cut off are incredibly dark grey.

Found them very quickly, my first UK Passport and my second UK Passport - looked at them with Pirkko just now. They are most definitely black. As is my Dad's old UK Passport. My current UK Passport (EU-style mauve-coloured) conks out in the year 2024, I assume I can use that until its expiry...

Depends where you want to travel I think. Your old passport would have been dark blue apparently like the new ones... which is black I reckon.

I have just looked at 3 of my old passports.
they do look black - until you look at them against a black background - then they are definitely very very dark blue.
