All Jewish scribes traditionally have used black ink. This practice is not based upon (or unique to) kabbalists. A more relevant way to express the topic would be "What does kabbalah have to say about the Jewish tradition of using black ink on a white surface."

Is it acceptable to write Hebrew in any color other than black?

I cannot and do not presume to speak to any religious issue, but strictly from a writing point of view, I have seen Hebrew letters in other colors than black and a simple Google search turns up word processing programs with Hebrew fonts in color.Answer:From a religious perspective there is generally no problem for printed Hebrew being in other colors.However the Torah scrolls, and scrolls of the Prophets, tefillin and mezuzos have to be written by hand with very specific rules. One of these rules is the using of a specific black ink.There is an interesting midrash which states that the Torah (in its more spiritual form) is black fire upon white fire. This shows us that there is something very significant about the writing being in black.
