Here's a pic when Shane had it where it looks green. Great! I think it's just a really dark green color that looks black until light shines on it directly. I bet it was the same deal as the purple IC where it turned darker after use and they switched to a black strap eventually.

I'm pretty sure they switched to a black strap when they added the scratch logo to the belt, which would have been in 2000 around the time Angle had it, because they switched the tag titles when the Dudley Boyz had them.

The Rock was the only one to have the purple. I guess sweat and oil and whatnot made the belt black after a while and the WWE just redid the strap in black. It was still purple when Triple H won it and subsequently had to hand it over to Shamrock. Not sure how much longer it stayed purple after that. Dang now I have to go back and watch some 1998 WWF. As with the Euro belt being green I had no idea it was purple that long...I blame my crappy 19" TV At the time. That being said, I now need that Rock...

They still used the purple strap through Summerslam, but it had started turning black by then. It was hardly purple by the time they got to the ladder match, so you have to look closely.

Off the top of my head, a few Championship Title Belts at the start of the Attitude Era that had color straps were:
Big Eagle – blue Smoking Skull – white snake skin backing Oval Intercontinental – purple European – green Hardcore – Just a messed up strap altogether with blue and red paint smears Light Heavyweight – red Tag Team – red backing Women’s – orange backing
Some ECW Belts had colored backing, like: ECW World Championship Title Belt – orange backing ECW World Tag Team Championship Title Belt – purple backing
Then of course, there were some before the Attitude Era, like the Belts used by Ultimate Warrior (white, powder / baby blue, lavender straps for the Winged Eagle and yellow strap for the IC), and Shawn Michaels (white, powder / baby blue for the IC), and Goldust (gold strap for the IC).
Then of course, there we some after the Attitude Era, like the TNA Legends / Global / Television Championship Title Belt on a Red strap, TNA Knockouts Championship Title Belt on a white strap, TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship Title Belts on a Red strap and of course, Cody Rhodes’ / current white strap IC Belt.
I’m sure there are a lot more.
