Yep. All black works. See:

I've seen kitchen appliances in bright primary colors and they looked sharp.
Granted I don't think they will be as timeless as the above, but what the heck

Not only will they not be timeless, they require you to buy all from the
same manufacturer if you want them to match. As the color choices will
change with the years, if you need to replace one, and you want to keep
them matching, you will have to replace all three.

Only black, white and stainless allow you to mix manufacturers and have no
problem replacing one later.
