Bit o' trivia. Authentic ninja, when they did wear their shinobifuku (ninja uniforms/outfits) they
never
(according to all historical evidence) wore black. Their uniforms were often the color of whatever was predominant in the landscape their mission took place in, and was often
reversible
to accomodate different environments.

I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO USE PRIMER!
No wonder the friggin' paint never sticks when I try it! Damn!
