Dying hair with black colour is not permissible; other colours are permissible

Name

Question:

I started developing white hairs at young age of 13/14. I didn't use hair dye until the time of my marriage at the age of 26 with the intention of looking young for my wife. Since then I am using black hair dye once in one and half months just with sole intention of looking young for my wife who is 26 now and I am 28 now.

My question is that is it permissible in this circumstances to use black hair dye. As I have read that black hair dye is not permissible. I also want to mention that at the time of my initial use I have asked ulema about permissiblity of dying hair and I have got positive reply but I didn't ask about black hair dye use nor did they tell me. I am looking forward for your kind guidance.
Regards and respects
