black colored plumbers putty?
I have putty outside my house that looks like plumbers putty, and it is colored black. This was used for the pipes sticking out of my house, to seal around the pipe and siding. Where can I find this black colored putty?
Thanks,

It may be black now, but I think most of them are greenish grey? Should be in the electrical aisle and possibly in the piping aisle

For sealing around the pipes to the siding, I would use silicon caulk. It comes in a few different colors (white, almond, gray, black, etc) and does a great job keeping the weather and critters out.
I would only use plumbers putty for actual plumbing connections.

All depends on the size of the hole. Very few penetrations through siding are tight enough to just caulk. Control wires or a cable TV connection maybe, but most AC lines, water lines etc have quite a large gap.
