ok so i'm talking about a tie which is black, not talking about the "black tie" type of event.

Are you aware that "black tie" refers formalwear, i.e. a dinner jacket, and not wearing a suit with a dark necktie?

Indeed, Black Tie is Tuxedo. If you are referring to a black tie, I know that it and silver are considered nice for occasions not formal enough for true black tie. Great to look a little nicer without going over the top.

Personally I would never wear a black tie except as part of "Black Tie" attire.

Do the guys in teh boardroom look unfavorably on black ties?

Boardroom attire is typically the red Power Tie, or a yellow tie. Occasionally someone will pull a blue tie out, but not everyone can manage.
