Art,
I hope I understand your question correctly. There are a handful of
meteorites with a very dark to black matrix. The British Museum
Catalogue notes this in their classifications (see Fleming, Colorado
in the Catalogue).
I believe the practice of giving a color in the classification of a
meteorite has been abandoned.
Hope that helps.
Martin
