As the name suggests, photo chromatin is sensitive to UV/sunlight. Therefore, the chromatin which is sensitive to either UV or sunlight in general, would turn black in sunlight. As to why it turns black instead of other colours, it should be because of certain chemical processes that cause it to turn black.
