Why do some lakes seems black on Google Earth like Lake Victoria?

The depth of each lake will determine its color. Deep lakes appear "black" due to the fact that very little to no light is penetrating enough water to illuminate the floor or objects beneath it. You'll notice that the edges of the lake appear much lighter, due to this same reasoning.
Additionally, some bodies of water will have odd coloration due to certain minerals in the soil in that area (reddish looking water from clay deposits, etc.) or from the concentration of plant life, such as certain seaweeds.
