Vik,
You can dye your panniers black. Get a box of RIT dye at the grocery store. (about $4.) Put the panniers in boiling water with the dye and stir. I dyed my rear rack bag and my handle bar bag to match my panniers. I checked the color fastness by washing them with an old pair of underware and they color did not run.
