Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Madhya-lilā, Ch. 20]
PURPORT
This is a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.5.27). The śyāma color is not exactly blackish. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura compares it to the color of the  atasī  flower. It is not that Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself appears in a blackish color in all the Dvāpara-yugas. In other Dvāpara-yugas, previous to Lord Kṛṣṇa's appearance, the Supreme Lord appeared in a greenish body by His own personal expansion. This is mentioned in the  Viṣṇu Purāṇa ,  Hari-vaṁśa  and  Mahābhārata .
