Undying
Undying is a triggered ability. “Undying” means “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control with a +1/+1 counter on it.”
If a state-based action results in a permanent leaving the battlefield at the same time other state-based actions were performed, that permanent’s last known information is derived from the game state before any of those state-based actions were performed.
Rulings
If the creature is normally colorless, it will simply become black. It can't be both black and colorless.
Necromantic Selection doesn't overwrite any of the creature's colors or types. Rather, it adds another color and another creature type.
