So, does someone market a sensor that's Ant+ and maybe BT as well so I can monitor my water bottle temps from a phone app or head unit?

This is the blackest water bottle I have - goes with everything. (mine doesn't have the yellow nipple, though.)

The Zefal Magnum comes in both clear and black.

How worn do black bottles look when the aluminum cages rub off onto them?

Ever wonder why the bottom of the space shuttle and the coils on the back of your refrigerator are black?: Kirchoff's Law.

Grrrr. No, ...they really don't heat up water. That's more LBS bull. I've used black w/bs for years, excellent.
There is a local (to me) guy that sells them on eBay, two sizes, nice quality, and they don't leach plastic taste. Single Black LDPE Plastic Water Bottle 28oz 750ml Bike | eBay

Yeah,
Those camping solar showers don't work either.
Oh wait, they do...

Non omnino gravis
As a previous owner of a black automobile, I'm averse to the very notion of a black water bottle. Saying that a black water bottle won't get hotter than that of another color is akin to saying that compared to other colors, a black car won't get hotter... and I can state with great certainty that is not the case. Dropping into the driver's seat on a July afternoon was like getting into a pre-heated oven. In a southern California summer, I'm quite certain you could brew tea in a black bottle.
That said, TacX and a few others have all-black bottles on eBay. It's not as if they're hard to find.
