If you think of black as the absence of color, one can use a piece of electrical tape to cover the sinser on the color identifier. By doing this, the only color that will be returned to the senser is the color of the wire.
Basically I fold a piece of tape so that the sticky sides touch. The piece is about the size of the opening on the color identifier. I then tape this to the identifier over the hole leaving enough slack so I can slide a wire under. On very small wire, I might have to double it up before I slide it under the tape. I have the same color identifier. Hope that answers your question Scott.
