The color of the hen's feathers has little to do with the egg shell color. A black hen can lay a white egg or a brown egg...you might even find one that lays blue eggs.
Actually, its the skin around the sides of the face (known as "earlobes") that correlates
with egg color. The egg color and the earlobe color do not match,
rather it is possible to predict the color of a hen's eggs by looking at
her earlobes. In general, the darker the earlobes, the darker the eggs.
Hens with white earlobes usually produce white eggs. Hens with red,
brown, or black earlobes usually lay brown eggs.
There are many exceptions to this rule, though. For example, chickens of the Silkie
breed often have blue or black earlobes and they generally lay white
eggs.
