Those terms don't explicitly attach a moral value to colors in the way that the blacklist/whitelist terminology does.

Blacklist/whitelist do not attach moral values to color either. Do you have a peer reviewed study that states these words attach moral values?
Being blacklisted can be a morally good thing. An example: You can be blacklisted from a gang's kill list because you did good deeds for the neighborhood.
The only people attaching moral values to these are people trying to gaslight others into believing "black=bad".

Then how about "black hat hacker"?
Wonder what the reaction would be if people requested that "brownout" no longer be used because it's insensitive to certain races.
