Actively cranky t-shirts, I think, can be read as sort of a "prove to me you're cool enough to talk to" or "I need to be cheered up" thing.
That's interesting about the colors. I haven't noticed any particular variation between black/dark shirts and more brightly colored ones. My newish purple shirt gets compliments, but so does the black-and-white sweater my grandmother gave me.
