I don't think black was a popular color for performance cars. It was middle-of-the-road at best. Generally manufacturers had a clearly defined number of regular-production colors to offer, so in this case Pontiac could decide to offer black or another color that it deemed more popular. IMHO

Pontiac offered Starlight Black on the 1969 Firebird, removed the choice for the 1970 Firebird, then offered it for the 1971 Firebird, then removed it for 1972 and it was not available again on the Firebird until 1976. Black became a popular color on the Firebird after 1977, thanks to the popularity of the Special Edition model and the "Smokey And The Bandit" movie.
