Morphology

nonblack = black (transparent) = non + black

The word 'nonblack' is transparently formed by adding the prefix 'non-' to 'black', indicating the absence of the color black.

Etymology

Nonblack is the simple combination of non- 'not' and black, like in nonstick or nonstop. It describes something that is not black in color, so a nonblack bag or shirt is a lighter or different color than black.
