Apparently when making black things like distributor caps originally they used some sort of toxic elements that also became expensive.  This happened after the real engineers were out of the picture so someone at the factory just went to the next black product in the plastics catalog which apparently was somewhat conductive especially in humid environments.   I don't think every brand had this issue but enough did have the issue that the black ones got a bad reputation.
