Conn did offer special lacquer finishes back in the late 20's. I personaly don't think dark colored lacquer finishes are such a good idea over the long term. We all get minor dents, scratches and nicks on our instruments, clear lacquer hides them well as does silver but black with bright, brass colored nicks and scratches would look real bad in a big hurry.
If I get that job playing my tuba in a heavy metal band and I don't have to ware any face jewlrey, I will consider my horn dawnig a darker look but until then I think I will stick the "lily white look" of silver plate.

only a thought
