[CHAT] Black thread on black aida?

Hi folks! I'm looking for some advice as this is my first time using black aida. The pattern calls for black (dmc310) floss but I don't think the pattern makers intended for you to do the pattern on black aida. Should I swap the color out so the black part of the pattern is visible? I'm thinking 3799 pewter grey. Or should I stick with the black anyway to give a dark and textured effect?

I'd love your thoughts and experience!
