Whack Me 262 into yahoo images, gives a fair bit of variety.
This pic's black with white on the underside.

Howdy Stuart, Guys,

Ok, I havent looked at all the images on the link I am about to give you, but I remembered that the Australians had an Me262 in a museum so I looked them up....I "googled" them ( still amazed that google has become a verb). Anyway, here is the link with tons of photos and information about various Me262's :

I think you should be able to find something you like on this site, maybe not a black aircraft, but there are tons of pics like I said.

Have a good day,

Greg

Woo you guys rock! found a non-restored NachtJagdschwager on one of these websites that looks very much like it's all black, or maybe partially black-green or something. Something very sinister about a 262 in black!!!
Like the Bf110 as well...i feel i may have to pick one of these babies up very soon (SMACK ON THE WRIST) Nooooooo - not til I've finished what I have!!!!! hehehe!!

I'm sure you are aware of this site, it's the ME 262 Project that is building 5 reproduction airworthy ME 262's.

Lots of great reference photos on the site and great images of the builds in progress.

Hi,

Have you had a look at the colour scheme on the 262 - 2seater at the South African Military hostory museum. Photos of it can be found via this link: IPMS South Africa - Me 262 B-1A U1 SA's most valuable aviation jewel

I am glad you posted my pic, I was just planing to do so myself :-)
I took it at the Imperial war meseum in Saxonworld JHB where we have our monthly IPMS meetings.How cool is that?

On my way to the meeting I can have a look at 2 Me 109's ,FW 190, Mozzie,SEA5, Haker Hurricane, Hawker Hart and so no!

I'm not sure about all black. All I can say is I've seen just about every conceivable mottle,squiggle and splinter on Me262s.There are plenty with odd panels,different paint schemes (on various sub assemblies) and even unpainted,but I don't remember one in overall black.
There is a famous picture of very dark looking aircraft (including Me262s) aboard HMS Reaper but they are wrapped and coated in some kind of preservative for the voyage. As with all things Luftwaffe never say never but do remember that a restoration is effectively a 1:1 model.
I've attached the "Reaper" photo to show how easily that could be mis-interpreted.
Cheers
Steve
