The black color shows that the schedule is Active but not running currently. When you click on the Disable button on the Configure Schedule dialog, then the selected schedule will be changed to a Grey color. The color Orange indicates that the schedule has expired and will not run again. When the schedule is running, then it will be highlighted in Green.
