The color is the product (multiplication) of Diffuse Color and Diffuse Value. If either is 0 (or black) you'll get black.
To get non-black, you need a non-black (non-zero) value in both.
The point of having both is so that you can pick a color in the color picker, and then easily make it brighter or darker by adjusting the diffuse value, without having to resort to the color picker again.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
