(Black as the colour of choice for such a legend may have been spurred on by the fact that the record's third and future pressings were on black vinyl.) I think it's at least plausible.

Hopefully the camera didn't betray the colour too much... I'd definitely call it black, though.
Interesting thread w/ good pictures!
