Yes, a black coat is a fault and with the changes to the yorkie standard an adult dog with a black coat or too much black on the head (an uncleared head) would be disqualified from showing, just as a yorkie with too light of a coat. A dark steel blue is the ideal color of an adult yorkie. Of course, the proper steel blue color is in the eye of the beholder and that is why you still see a variety of shades of the steel blue color in the show ring.
