I'm currently printing a thing with black PLA and it might not be enough. Can I put black PETG in there when it runs out and continue like nothing happened? I'd adjust the nozzle temperature, of course.

You definitely can’t, they don’t really adhere to each other at all. Like even to the extent that you can actually use PETG as easily removable support material for PLA.
