I have seen Maharishi's deerskin close up for years, one of my best friends have carried it on many occasions. They were all brown. Thousands of tapes of Maharishi is available to anyone on youtube and maharishichannel. I challenge anyone to find a frame with a black skin ! BTW; if you are so inclined, meditating on a (brown) deerskin is very cozy. It's not the physical warmt it creates, it is something else, a protection, well worth trying, personally I love it and take it with me wherever I can. Don't try any other skin though unless you are an accomplished Master. Sit on a tigerskin and you would probably encounter some violent challenges to your meditation :-)
