If you're going to always(out at least frequently) grow your tomatoes there, you might actually want to consider painting it red. Tomatoes, according to some studies, apparently do substantially better, with red surroundings. I don't understand why, but I have to admit, last year my tomatoes did much better than they have in the last several years - and for the first time, I'd planted them in giant red tubs...
If you're set on black or white, consider the summer heat, where you are. Over heated tomatoes don't do well, for me, and need more frequent watering, to survive. If yours need more heat in the summer, I'd go with the black. But, here, mine would wither and die, before noon, the first hot day.
