I think it's mostly a personal preference, though black ink will supposedly fade over time (it hasn't happened to my sigs, and it's been 12 years now). Blue and black ink are the standards for autographed photos; the only other colors that would possibly be preferred over these two would be gold or silver (especially if the photo background is dark).

I think it's fine that your photos are signed in black. As long as you store them properly (away from sunlight), the signatures should last for long time.

Silver is my fave :) I think red is considered more valuable but I personally don't like red autographs.
