In addition to what Salika said, the other reason why black [and black only] is forbidden is because its deceptive. You're giving others the appearance that you're younger than you really are because you're implying that your hair is still naturally black.
Which leads to the obvious question: Is cosmetic surgery halal? I always thought I'd give that option to my [future] wife if and when she wanted it after like two decades of marriage and having a busload of children.
But now I'm not so sure.
