I had a similar problem when I bought my TCH 1.5 months ago. I actually wanted Metallic Gray or Silver but ended up with Black. In my case, I wanted the non-Nav, non-Moonroof, non-Leather version. Apparently, they don't make very many of those. I guess they figure people willing to pay extra for a hybird are also more willing to pay for upgrades. As expected, the black car needs much more frequent washings because dirt is so very visible. In my searching (online and at dealerships), I don't think I saw more than 1-2 blue TCHs in the Chicagoland area.
