The reason behind blocking hue 1 and other related hues is that there's no way you could get actual clothing to be pure black like it shows up, plus it looks a bit silly in the paperdoll.
Right now if you have death rock, it looks like you're wearing very, very dark clothing, but with pure black, if you put on a shirt, it looks like you are just a floating head, arms and legs.
Also, pure-black was entirely too popular if I recall from my days of being on a shard where it was allowed. It seems like everyone was decked out head to toe in pure black gear, so with this system we get a little more variation and people personalize their characters a bit more.
