The thing to avoid is not "colour" but tires that used silica filler instead of carbon black--- and a number of these tires are black/gray including the last Conti comps before "Black Chili".
Conti tempo? I completely disagree. There are among the best tires in the track training segment--- alongside Steher. The Sonderklasse and Olympic Contis are much better but as their name says they are for higher level competition. The comparison I think is much like between Conti Sprinter and Competition on the road--- the Competition is my preferred tire but at 1/2 the price I always suggest the Sprinter as the best budget tubular road tire I know.
For competition there are a number of interesting tires about.. But it really depends upon the course, rider, level and budget..
