I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I've NEVER seen babies clothes in black. I was just wondering if there is a legitimate reason behind this, or whether it's just that the shops don't think black baby clothes will sell.

As the questions answered previously, a lot has to do with saleability of the item. Most baby clothes available in the stores like target/kmart/walmart/macys etc are mass produced and they order thousands of pieces per style to distribute throughout their stores.
Designer boutiques such as DKNY/Sonia Riekel etc do produce small ranges for children in Black, also boutiques in Europe do the same.
They may produce 4 pieces per store, which still means only a few hundred are produced, so it is not a nightmare tring to sell them.
I have a few beautiful pieces in black with different colored embroideries for my daughter, just happened to get them on sale, but you need to shop boutiques to find them.

There are a lot of answers to this question. First of all, Black retains heat a lot quicker than yellow, pink, and blue. Another reason, is that i don't believe that the stores think they would sell to good for the above reasons. I also think, that too many mothers wouldn't want their children wearing black at such a young age because some mothers associate black with "goth"
I hope that helps.

I'd assume like all the others that it would just make baby hotter. I'd also assume that most parents believe black to be kind of morbid for their child as opposesd to blues and pinks and such. I have seen some black baby outfits, however at Hot Topic. Which is located in some malls (at least around here).

My theory on this subject is that dark (black or jewel-toned) clothes show spitup stains more- hence the preponderance of light colors and pastels in the baby aisle.
Black as a mourning color also probably has something to do with it, but that doesn't explain the similar lack of jewel-toned baby clothes.

My neice has had/currently has a black velvet dress with some purple satin trim and she has a black satin dress with some black and green plaid trim.
When she was about 6 months old she had a black and white tiny checked dress with black ribbons on it.
My sister-in-law shops a lot of boutiques but she said she has also found dresses at Dillard's and Macy's for her. She said you just need to look around and ask for them.

Black clothes will probably make the baby feel hotter and cause him/her to needlessly sweat more as the black fabric absorbs heat from the sun ray's. To err on the side of caution, not manufacturing the color is probably easier and less letigious.

Baby clothes are supposed to be happy and cheerful. Black is neither happy nor cheerful. But I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll find something. Baby specialty stores maybe.

Who would want to see baby clothes in black? That's gross. Even when my child was elementary school age, I fought for a long time so he wouldn't even have a black t-shirt! Kids should be in bright, happy colours!

Black is often considered a dismal color. Black also attracts and showcases lint.
Black baby clothes can be found, though, at designer prices...smiling.
One such place is listed below, though there are others:

The shops would not sell them as there isnt any demand for them. To produce clothing is expensive and not enough people would want to dress their babies in black.
It isnt really an appropriate colour for a baby, anyway.
