My two pair of black dress shoes are getting ratty, and in the course of looking for new ones, came to the realization that black dress shoes are boring. Yes, custom-made cap toes are nicer than J&M, but not to the extent of brown, etc. especially if I'm going to be spending $200-$400.

Assuming I never wear my black shoes again, what 4-5 pair of dress shoes should I have to wear with suits (blue/gray) 5 days a week? Three shades/styles of brown (maybe a dress boot?) and a cordovan? Or, should I just get over it and buy new black shoes?
