On the official website i.e. http://passportindia.gov.in, it is written,

“Ordinary Passport: An ordinary passport has blue cover, and consists of 36 or 60 pages. It is valid for 10 years from the date of issue and can be renewed for another 10 years. An Indian citizen can use this passport for ordinary vacation or business travel.”

Rather than trusting other sources, it’s better to trust the official one. The conclusion is that the personal passport of Indians is blue colored. The fact is that the color is deep blue and hence, many people confuse it as black. If you still have doubts, you can share your passport pics in our comments section below.
