Here's the text of the solution mentioned in the forums:

 Re: Black and White splash/loading screen
The problem seems to be with usplash showing the wrong resolution. It always seems to pick the first one in the list, which is 640x400. This is the only resolution which seems to show up black and white for me. The only way I can get the 1024x768 splash screen is to remove the other resolutions from the list in "usplash-theme-ubuntu.c". Grub boots into 1024x768, and usplash.conf is set to 1024x768, but it will still show the first resolution in the linked list in the top left of the screen. I don't really know C, but I attached my modified usplash-theme-ubuntu.c file which seems to work for me since it only uses 1024x768.
