Ivory maybe more typical for the oxymoron, but then it's something quite exotic (I'm thinking elephant horns, as well), so it wouldn't be a mismatch for a black girl!
Ebony is wood, on the other hand, so although it doesn't make sense, it makes me think of forests.. and forests are next to Ireland in my mind, and basically only albino is whiter than Irish.. so there :P
