Oddly enough we were discussing this very same topic one year to the day in this thread:

If, like me, you don’t have the best vision, the black ones look like they would be too easy to miss. They would be hard to see during power failures as well, so you’d lose an important mental cue that you were about to enter a busy intersection. I imagine that that’s the thinking behind the garishness, at the expense of their not looking like they came from a trendy designer lighting shop. Maybe I said that last year, though.
