Question

What is the colour of the black box in a commercial airplane? ...?

Answer 1

a bright orange box that is located in the rear of the aircraft near the tail, because in case of a crash, the rear would most likely not be damaged as much as in the front. That's why in a lot of airplane crashes, both pilots die, but most passengers live.

Answer 2

they are indeed orange or yellow.

on a side note, 'black box' is technical jargon for a fairly complicated machine that looks very simple and boring on the outside.
