(First post, yay!)
Im working on a fashion lookbook for print and I'm displaying product colours on a black background, but what can I do for when I need to display black on black? Example:

As you can see there are 3 colours but the black is not legible on black, what do you reckon I could do to improve visibility without compromising design too much?

Stroke the black:

Use an outer Glow, this may not work depending on the rest of the design:

Keep it simple: use a subtle outline on each of the circular swatches. From what I can see, the colour and thickness of the horizontal white line would be great.
