Strictly speaking, gamma rays don't exit a black hole; they are electromagnetic radiation just like visible light - although they carry a higher energy - and neither light nor matter can exit a black hole. However, a black hole can cause gamma radiation to be created near it - for example, by processes at quasars or active galactic nuclei, which, powered by a supermassive black hole, can generate immensely powerful jets or beams which can accelerate particles to relativistic speeds, boost lower energy photons, and generate powerful x-rays and gamma rays. Another possible source of gamma rays is the so-called black hole evaporation, through which a black hole could potentially lose its mass and end its life with an explosive gamma burst.

Why in poor light you cant percieve the true colours of objects?

Our eyes have both black-and-white receptors, and color receptors. The black-and-white receptors work at low light levels; the color recepters require a higher light intensity.

Why cant you produce black light?

Because the colour 'black' is in fact the absence of other colours. It is impossible to produce a device that obviously emits the absence of something.

Is a black hole so bright that we cant see it?

Quite on the contrary - it's so dim that we can't see it: no light escapes from the hole. The only emission indicating presence of a black hole may come from accreting matter surrounding a hole. Although Hawking's radiation is associated with event horizon, it is undetectable at such distances.
