Where did Poe get another black X-Wing?

A mildly whimsical question:

After losing his X-Wing on Jakku, how did Poe get (another?) black one?

I mean in the sense of priorities. Was there some sort of dialog with the officer on duty on the flight line:

Officer: Glad to see you've recovered from all that torture, Poe. Here's your new X-Wing.

Poe: That's not mine. It's the wrong colour.

Officer: What?

Poe: It's not black.

Officer: Uhm, you and your squadron need to take off at once, we got word that BB-8 needs rescuing right now.

Poe: Sorry, I want it repainted.

Officer: Now?! The galaxy depends on you.

Poe: I save the galaxy in style or not at all.

Officer: < breaks down and sobs>

Why was this obviously canonical scene deleted, I ask?

Or do they have buckets of black paint standing around to spray on whichever X-Wing Poe needs to hop into?

To make this question a bit more earnest: while it's hard to see in the low light on Jakku, was that X-Wing also a black one? I don't have image-by-image capabilities to drill into that well enough. Does somebody have the ability to show a shot that clearly shows the colour, one way or another?
