Burton saw this question before I did and sent me a response preemptively:
He calls the color "blackened oil." It looks black in diffuse light, but in direct light you can see some of the color of the cedar come through. It's meant to coordinate with the African blackwood binding, which has some of the same qualities in diffuse/direct light.
Which just goes to show you . . . there is no detail to subtle for Burton's consideration.
