Yeah, thanks for clarifying. I feel pretty dumb now: the colors in the pictures are deceptive, but the "black" is probably just the purple. Looking at screenshots of infected Tigrex, it seems like the orange is intensified as well.

The next time I decide to go out on a limb like that, I'll cover my back from every direction.
