Changed its color due to reasons. From its dark age, it is now white/gray-ish.
Reasons:
The "black" or dark color textures make it hard to see the texture details on the mesh and thus difficult for few Dev's to spot poor mapping and quality. I myself found a few texture stretches and misclicks that cause the textures to be warped. It is fixed along with its color. So, no black.
Also, heads up for trainee modelers, it is a rule of thumb not to use deep dark colors to avoid these issues.
