I agree about the verb, but the main question was: inside or on the inside? I think they're both OK but in this case on the inside expresses better the concept of on the inside surface.

On the whole, I'd agree, though I think epistemic 'will' will sound less declarative and more advisory.

I would stick to the original:
"The best colour for a sun umbrella will be black on the top and white on the inside."
or, more guarded/reserved:
"The best colour for a sun umbrella would be black on the top and white on the inside."
"The best colour for a sun umbrella will be black on the top and white on the inside."
or, more guarded/reserved:
"The best colour for a sun umbrella would be black on the top and white on the inside."
