"I have used black electrical tape for years, with no problems whatsoever. But I am in
Nova Scotia" 
 
Ditto for me in zone 6 SE NY.  The colored tapes cost much more- is the danger of burning the scions speculative?  In the warmer zones the scions presumably sprout earlier under a sun of similar intensity as the sun here a couple weeks later.  I have heard other claims (speculation?) that the black tape creates warmth that speeds the mending process.  Maybe one of you out there would like to run a controlled experiment with black, white and yellow tape.
