I know that having a black colored blade symbolizes unknown element but why
did he got black colored blade instead of blue even though he has a known
Water Breathing Technique?

Why does Tanjiro's Nichirin Blade is Black?


Color of Nichirin blade, till now, is shown to have not much significance
apart from manifesting differently based on the owners. Urokodaki was
surprised as Black is a rare color and there's been few users with it, hence
the saying emerged that those with black blade won't go far.

Haganezuka implied that family lineage also impacts the color of blade, here's
what's been revealed in the manga which could explain the black color:

> Tanjiro's ancestors Sumiyoshi and Suyako were acquainted with the Breath of
> the Sun user, also it's been implied that the **Dance of Fire God** passed
> down in Kamado family has some relation with the orignal breath the **Breath
> of Sun**.  
>  
>  In chapter 113 in Tanjiro's inherited memories he sees Suyako talking to
> the Sun Breath user about his sword, mentioning that a Samurai's sword
> changes from Obsidian Black to Red only when he fights. Tanjiro assumed that
> the Breath of Sun user used a technique to change the color of his sword,
> Tanjiro obtained the same effects thanks to nezuko's blood, his sword
> changed color to a burning red and he gained explosive battle strength. The
> black color may be due to his lineage or due to learning the dance of fire
> god (if learning breaths have any impact on it)
