You have some of the older stuff.  If you order some new it will be jet black.  I think the only difference is the powder on the latex, but I could be wrong.  It still sounds and plays the same or as close as latex dose from one batch to another.

I agree with Gooserbat. Make sure you don't buy the grey .004 thinking it's the black. The black is in the same category as the green .003.

So the new black .003 is jet black instead of the not really black "smokey black" from last year?
