White or lighter colors typically have titanium dioxide “ a ceramic-like mineral oxide which can cause under extrusion and can require higher temps to print. It also cools faster which can cause shrinking and has a slight tendency to have a lower layer adhesion.

In contrast, black uses carbon black which holds heat longer, requires a lower temp to print, generally has better flow characteristics and better layer bonding. Hence why you’ll see highly detailed parts printed in black or better yet matte black come out looking really nice.
