Whats wrong with colorful extension cords?
But, really I never knew they made black power cords(or at least havent seem them). All my mic cables are black though.

You're right, it seems black cords are tough to find in stores. But they are made, I know because I've seen them. I even have one black store-bought cord. It's 15' long, either 14 or 16 ga, with molded ends. But that's not one that travels with me, it's in the same place as all my orange and yellow molded end cords, and those only get used at home.
Most of the cords I carry I made myself, with 500' of 12/3 SO. I carry 2 manufactured cables, the kind with the lit outlets every few feet down the cable. I think they're from CBI, but I can't remember anymore.
The only cables I have that aren't black are 2 power strips, that get used only rarely, like when a guitar player forgets to bring their own stuff. Oh well, at least the power strips are mostly black, but the cable on them is yellow. But it doesn't matter, they hardly ever leave the case.
I recommend getting yourself some 12/3 or 14/3 and making all the cords you need. Once you break it down it doesn't cost all that much, and you'll have really durable cables that will serve you for many years. Plus they're black, and that's a good thing.
