There are only four colours used for passports -RED, GREEN, BLUE AND BLACK.
I think it is South Africa who have black passports.

I had a passport craftily 'switched' on leaving the UK.........
I had previously noticed my passport had acquired a couple of irregular diagonal creases across its cover as if sat on whilst in a rear pocket, but thought little of it. Although I had never sat on it and couldn't work out how it had become creased.
Checking out at Dover ferry terminal passport control, I handed it over to the female officer. She was stood behind a tallish desk along with a couple of male officers who looked closely on. It was out of my sight for just a few seconds whilst she did something with it below the desks counter-top, I presumed to scan the barcode or whatever.
My passport (with precisely the same creases on its cover) was duly handed back to me closed, and I put it away without bothering looking inside. After all why should I, I could see it was mine by the distinctive cover.
It was only later, when I opened it, that I saw the photo inside was now different. Of the photos I'd originally sent off with my passport application, I'd been relieved to find that the best one had been put in my passport.....But now my passport clearly contained the less flattering example - how weird was that!

Fancy you knowing that!
There is nothing to stop the UK finding a different supplier.
I would adore flashing a rainbow one through customs.

That is weird.
Could it have been your mistake on the photo?
Taken for the purpose they look similar.
Perhaps the creases made the officer suspicious enough to run it through another check.

No mistake about the photo. The whole thing has puzzled me ever since. Far-fetched as it seems, I keep arriving back to the only possible explanation....That the passport people have an embossing press, presumably portable, designed to put a natural-looking crease in passport covers.
Why they would go to such lengths, I have no idea. Possible it was done, to switch my existing passport for a duplicate containing an upgraded microchip without arousing my suspicion? If so, they certainly failed!

Orwell said "If there is hope, it lies in the proles." Whilst champagne socialists see diversity idealised at university, the common folk experience it first hand in their neighbour hoods.
