Aside from the asthetics, black absorbs more light rays than the other colors, converting the surface into a solar collector. That's great for heating water, but not so good for your home where you want to cut down on energy usage from cooling.

Well...it's kinda ugly for a house, for one...plus, black absorbs heat like crazy, which would send the electric bills through the roof in the summer (A/C in a furnace colored home would be a bee-atch!)

It is the hardest to cover up if you do not like it. I would suggest a dark brown before using black.
Also, Black has a lot of up keep with it. Due to it fading. So you may have to touch up each year.
Good Luck!

It absorbs too much heat, especially in the summer. Your house would be a friggin' oven inside.

because it absorbs the heat from the sun, and would make the inside unbearably hot in summer.

It's very popular here for trim but not for the body of a home. seems it would make your home very hot plus it would be ugly.
