The road is usually black too, so having everything black will blend into a point that you will become very difficult to see. Be careful, my slogan, Seeineandbeinseen!
Good! I wear all black for that exact reason. I DON'T want them seeing me! I'm a harder target that way. If a rider cannot see a moving 3,000 pound object that is 20+feet long, 5 to 6 feet wide and 5 to 8 feet hign they really need to take a bus. Not sure someone that blind will pass the vision test at the DMV.
Plus the myth of 'high visibility' spreads the absolute lie that motorcycles get run over by accident because they are not being seen.
Motorcycles get run over ON PURPOSE by sociopaths that get a thrill from taking human life. They can kill some poor fool that was dumb enough to believe the guys at Motorcycle Safety Fraud who told them they would be safe if everybody could see them. Tell the LEO; "I didn't see him" and they are home free.
No, it is my Job as the rider to not give ANYBODY a chance to kill me. See and not be seen. Go through traffic like a greasy chile fart. They know you are there but you are gone before they can target you.

Nothing dangerous in that vid. Or at least nothing more dangerous then riding around town. Parking lots are more dangerous then Interstates, if you have the skillz. No skillz and everwhere is dangerous.
