> his Grandma's records, they're black! and what 78 rpm record is not black.

Columbia Royal Blue and early century American Records are blue. 
Vocalion, Perfect, Domino, and Canadian HMV all were clay-colored red
for part of their history, some Perfects were mottled black and red,
Madison were orange, Aeolian Vocalion had two patriotic issues that were
red, white, and blue, I have a V-disc that is five colored transparent,
RCA Red Seal DeLuxe were transparent cherry red, Vogue were all picture
records, the vinyl Deccas made in the Vogue plant were translucent
red-purple, there was a Seattle label that all were multi-colored and
mottled, etc., etc., etc.
