Don't like not having any say if you get black or white in game. I have played over 800 games and it has always been stuck with playing more black than white. About 20 to 30 game difference over the 800 games.

I suggested to Chess.com that you should be aloud to abort a game based on color selection if your games are not closed to being equal color selections

Color allocations try to balance and the algorithm has to select who is more due a color.

 

You have had 856 rated Rapid games. 419 white and 437 black. So 49% white vs 51% black. That is really close. 

 

In your last 50 games, 22 were black, so it also looks like the algorithm is working to put you closer to even.
