Not sure it needs the adj-na as well.

  Comments:
For sense 1, it's not prenominal outside of compounds borrowed from English (e.g. ブラックペッパー, ブラックボックス, ブラックホール). When used to describe the colour of some arbitrary thing, it's always ブラックの〜. 
I think adj-f is appropriate for sense 3.

We usually have colors as n,adj-no. But would adj-f be better here?
