The color of the soil is not as important as its chemistry. Red soil frequently has a lot of clay and black soil frequently has a lot of organic material, but this isn't always true. The only way to be sure about soil is to have it tested and the test will indicate the fertility of the soil and the amount of organic material and the acidity/alkalinity. Every county in the US has a county extension office where you can get your soil tested.
