Good point, same for raised beds. Black plastic mulch does wonders, although getting a seed to sprout through a hole in it is a little tricky. The plastic can't be loose and flap in the wind.
Now that I think about it, anything black would absorb heat from the sun. I would think that seeds covered in black sand would sprout faster than those covered in any other color of media.
