synthetic engine oil change freq

I have always kept an eye on my engine oil color on the dipstick beginning a few months after an oil change, and when it gets dark/black with at least 5,000 miles I change it (with synthetic). I've been wondering lately if basing oil change on color is an outdated dino oil thing.
Maybe synthetic is capable of carrying a significantly greater dirt load while still functional?
