I guess painting everything black is more confusing, because black is used to mark the uncovered parts. The students will think that everything is wrong.
I think that a better possibility is to add a backcolor (and forecolor) to the code covered by the test. I vote for very light green, #C0FFC0, because green usually means ok. So each time they add more test, they will get more green background until everything is green.
