Well, I hope you find your perfect cat and that you two are a match for each other inside and out. I won't tell you not to adopt because no matter what your motivations, you'll be saving a life.

On the subject of choosing pets by their color, I personally don't have a problem with it especially when what you're looking for is an animal with a darker color. Poor babies have much lower chances of being adopted because people are superstitious. And there are personal preferences that are valid. I have an indoor-outdoor situation and have never gotten a kitten (who presumably could be trained to take a bath), so it would be better for me not to have a mostly white cat like my sister's indoor one.

There are some colors that actually do match personality. I don't think I'd willfully ever get a marmalade striped cat after my sister's boyfriend's cat attacked me (we were both being assholes). I've heard that coloring tends to come with a high-strung personality. In contrast, I've met a lot of black cats that are absolute sweethearts and kind of silly in an uncat-like manner. I have never had an aloof black cat.

Yes, but if you are looking for a black cat (or dog, black dogs suffer from some of the same superstitious rejection), aren't you much less likely to have to comb shelters for the "perfect" pet as if you were shopping for the perfect pair of boots? Precisely because black cats have a lower chance of being adopted and there are so many of them needing homes?

I will vouch for at least my own all-black cat being an absolute sweetheart, though. Even the vet has remarked on it.
