On my car they are all clear, not black. It is standard 3M anti-chip tape. I was told it was to prevent the door from snagging something and running it into the gap area at the sill.

They did use black tape on the rear bumper at the tab just below the license plate. We used "helicopter (blade) tape" for that. Since I never saw it in the parts book, it might be a US/Fed feature.
